"Empowering future changemakers starts by providing resources for individuals to cultivate their own personal relationship with nature. The National Forest Foundation's on-the-ground work supporting the health of our forests, mindfully expanding recreation infrastructure, and engaging all Americans to action is critical for sustaining forest health and advancing human well-being. Ecosystem health is human health!"

Bringing 15+ years of expertise in corporate events and non-profit development, Blair is on a mission to craft extraordinary and educational interactions with the organization. With a diverse background spanning aerospace, health-based nonprofits, communications consulting, and eco-tourism, Blair is honored to align her professional experience with her personal passion for the great outdoors.
After living and working in some of the most beautiful and ecologically diverse areas in the world, Blair has now planted roots in Missoula, Montana along with her husband, Ian, and their two young daughters. No matter rain, snow, or sun, the Wares enjoy any type of outdoor recreation and the opportunity to show their girls the magic of our mountains and public lands. Blair considers herself incredibly fortunate to witness the special bond between her daughters and nature as well as their growing sense of responsibility as mini-environmental stewards.
