Nolan is currently completing his MS in Environmental and Forest Sciences from the University of Washington, with research focusing on climate change adaptation in forest management. In his current role as a Forest Resource Planner, he applies this knowledge to inform sustainable, science-based forest management decisions. Before this, Nolan worked at a climate change think tank in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where he contributed to forest conservation programs in Brazil and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He holds a BS in Environmental Studies and Economics from Northeastern University.
What do you like about living in the Pacific Northwest?
The trees! Western Washington is home to some of the most beautiful and ecologically rich forests. I also love living in a region that has a strong conservation ethic and opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Why do you work here (at the District)?
I am committed to the sustainable management of our natural resources. Working at the Snohomish Conservation District allows me to engage in this work daily and collaborate with landowners who have a direct impact on our landscape. I hope to find ways to sustain forests for the benefit of both people and the environment.
