Neal Hatley

Director of Workforce Development

Growing up on the farm, my Grandpa used to say “Any job worth doing is worth doing right.” This is a lesson I try every day to teach to our youth. There’s a lot of different tools that will get a job done, but taking the extra time to determine the best one will help you ensure that it is done right. Whether we are building a trail up on the mountain with one of our YouthCore Teams or cutting the grass for one of our seniors through CommunityConnect, the idea of building core values through our work is always front and center.

Neal’s prior experience and passion for helping youth makes him a great asset to AntFarm. Neal oversees all Outdoor services including YouthCore,CommunityConnect, Woodlot, Planet 365, and Workforce and Public Land Contracts.He manages our largest group of youth volunteers and employees. They are all in great hands.
