Alex joined Humboldt County RCD in October 2024 as a Regional Forest Health Program Manager. His position serves the North Coast Durable Collaborative – a group of 11 North Coast RCDs that came together in 2019 to increase coordination, streamline program delivery, and amplify program outcomes for forest resilience in the North Coast Region. Alex most recently comes from the Oregon Department of Forestry where he worked as a Coordinator for the Southwest District’s NRCS program advancing wildfire resilience projects on private nonindustrial forestland. Prior to that, he worked under the big skies of Eastern Montana as an Organizer for the Northern Plains Resource Council supporting community-led conservation campaigns. Alex was raised in Humboldt and is glad to be back home behind the Redwood Curtain. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Evolutionary Biology from Harvard University and in his free time enjoys walking out in the woods or catching the game downtown with friends.
