Brad Meiklejohn '94
Brad is the Director of The Conservation Fund's Alaska Office. He and his team oversee land conservation projects that have protected over 300,000 acres of wild land on the Last Frontier. They negotiate deals, raise funds, and coordinate the stewardship of protected areas with state and federal agencies, Native communities, and other land trusts. They get their hands dirty on the largest dam removal project ever attempted in Alaska and an ambitious effort to eradicate invasive Elodea before it invades the state's salmon systems. With the last vast wildlands at stake, Brad puts all his FN skills to work to keep the pieces, patterns, and processes intact.
