Welcome Will Patric: RWB’s new executive director!

Andre Gagne : Jul 7.2008

Will brings two decades of conservation campaign experience in the western U.S. to RWB.  This includes many years with the Mineral Policy Center (now Earthworks) helping communities confront environmental impacts of mining, and more recently with The Wilderness Society’s Northern Rockies office advocating for visionary, conservation oriented management by public lands agencies.  As Executive Director, Will hopes to advance the efforts of all those before him who have worked tirelessly and passionately to protect North America’s wildest watersheds and the interests of people that have long called this magnificent transboundary region home.

CURRENTLY...

". . .When you’re in the land of the grizzly, and when you follow the tracks of the wolf in the watersheds like the Stikine or the Taku, you know you are in a truly wild landscape where human beings have had a very, very modest imprint."
— Wade Davis, National Geographic Society
