Nick grew up in St. Louis, playing in the rivers of the Missouri Ozarks. He attended Truman State University where he received degrees in political and environmental science. Nick then traveled west to attend law school at the University of Oregon. When he is not litigating over irresponsible land management, he can be found paddling or playing soccer.

Francis has lived and worked in the forests of western Oregon all of her adult life. She was a forestry worker for 20 years before working as the Conservation Director for Umpqua Watersheds. Francis began working with Cascadia Wildlands in 2010. When she's not busy protecting our ancient forests, she's hiking through them with her camera.

bob(at)cascwild.org

Bob grew up in Silicon Valley as urban sprawl was absorbing the natural playgrounds of his youth.  This profound experience was the catalyst for his career in conservation.  He has worked for 30 years as a researcher, teacher, and advocate working on issues ranging from Yellowstone wolf restoration to stopping coal exports through the Pacific Northwest.  In his spare time he looks for that perfect trout stream and is creating an urban homestead with his green architect and artist wife.

camille(at)cascwild.org

Camille is a native Northwesterner, having grown up on beautiful Whidbey Island, and then attending the University of Washington in Seattle. After six years in the Bay Area and a three-year detour to New York City, she was thrilled to return west to Eugene in 2007 where she pursued and received an MPA with a concentration in Nonprofit Management from the University of Oregon. She loves to hike, travel, and generally enjoy the beauty and bounty of the Pacific Northwest with her family.

Josh was born and raised on sandy Cape Cod. He graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in Journalism and Environmental Studies in 1998 and worked as an editor of the Earth First! Journal until 2001. Upon finishing there, he teamed back up with Cascadia Wildlands where he coordinates the organization's conservation campaigns. When not working to protect and restore the watersheds of Cascadia, he enjoys floating down the bioregion's spectacular rivers, playing ultimate frisbee, and raising his kiddos.

Gabe has been with Cascadia Wildlands from the beginning. He created our Alaska Field Office in 1998 to protect the northern reaches of Cascadia. When he's not working on protecting the Alaska's wild places, he can be found catching and smoking wild salmon, tromping through ancient forests, and shooting hoops. Gabe was admitted to the Bar in Alaska in 2012
