"The sight of wild lupine blooming the spring after a fire is one of my favorites, a reminder that in all healthy systems disturbance and renewal go hand in hand."
BIO
Jamie comes from a background in conservation forestry working for state, federal, and non-profit landowners to create healthy forests, communities, and watersheds in a variety of forest ecosystems.
Her career focus in ecological forestry has led to digging into the ways resilient forest landscapes can sustain local communities while providing missing ecosystem elements to the landscape. She has focused on new solutions to balance the needs of recreation, wildlife, and forest health by recreating historic forest spatial heterogeneity and density with the goal of long term functioning of the ecosystem’s natural disturbance ecology. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Sustainable Forest Management from the University of Washington School of Environmental and Forest Sciences.
