Pasa (retired)

My career has straddled field-based forestry work and environmental policy work, both at nonprofits and for state and federal government agencies. My work for Pennsylvania's state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources developed numerous partnerships with the state Department of Agriculture, and I began to explore the intersection between forestry and farming as a policy partnership. My most recent work with Pasa Sustainable Agriculture reinforced the importance of this overlap and the policy avenues that can lead to better programs, funding and opportunities for farmers, farmworkers, for wildlife and for the environment.
