Stuart shared this about his new role: “I believe the more informed people are about what wildlife species need to survive, the less inclined they will be to condone actions that lead to their demise. I’m excited to join Portland Audubon to help continue its 120 year legacy of educating and inspiring all people to love and respect the natural environment and the birds that depend on it for survival.”
Stuart’s educational background includes a BS in Zoology from Northern Arizona University, an MS in Environmental Science and Public Policy from George Mason University, and he is currently completing his PhD in Wildlife Conservation from the University of Arizona—degrees he continues to use to advance the scientific understanding of species protection.
In addition to his leadership positions in the environmental field, Stuart has worked extensively with volunteers, the public, donors, and community partners, knowing that it takes all people coming together to solve our toughest environmental challenges. This fundamental value of the importance of community resonated deeply with us since Portland Audubon has and always will be powered by its vast and passionate community.
We are very excited to welcome Stuart into the Portland Audubon flock and for him to meet all of you. He will officially join Portland Audubon on May 2.
