Beth Sutherland

A lifelong organic home gardener, in recent years Beth Sutherland has become interested in native plants and herbal medicine. She has been studying the historical and current uses of native plants and local weeds in making medicine and supporting healthy living.

In early 2020 Beth retired from a 40 year career in not-for-profit insurance companies. She has held a number of actuarial, financial, and business leadership roles in the retirement services industry.

Since retirement she has volunteered with Long Island Native Plant Initiative, the Ketcham Inn gardening team, and will participate in the 2023 Suffolk County Master Gardener program.

Beth is a 35 year resident of Long Island, first in Centerport and now in Poquott. She is gradually transforming her yard from non-native plantings into a sanctuary for native plants, herbs and wildlife.

Beth serves as Treasurer on the ReWild Board since November 2022.
