The stewardship staff oversee the wise care of LTC’s working forest lands and nature preserves and conservation easement monitoring. Derek spent his childhood exploring a large parcel of wild land right near his home, prompting an early desire for a career in the outdoors. Derek spent a semester in Wyoming with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), holds a B.S. in Natural Resource Management from Grand Valley State University, a Master’s Degree in Environmental Science from Taylor University, a Master’s in Biology from Central Michigan University, and is a graduate of the Great Lakes Leadership Academy. Prior to LTC, he spent two years in Missouri working for the Missouri Department of Conservation as a cave biology technician monitoring endangered gray bats and crawling, canoeing, and rappelling into caves to document other cave life.
