District 11

Gail O'Kane District 11 | Rural and Critical Board

Growing up on a farm north of Dayton, Ohio, Gail learned from an early age that it is up to each of us to take care of this planet we call home. This includes all of nature and the things that we make. She learned from her father: “The longer the old one lasts, the longer the new one will last.” Good advice for the years when she and husband Hugh were raising their six children. For the retirement years, they choose Hilton Head Island with all its natural beauty. The Rural & Critical Lands Board was a good way for Gail to help preserve the wonder of Beaufort County.
