We are pleased to announce that Scott Fogarty will be joining the FPC team as our new executive director!
Scott comes to FPC with an extensive history in the conservation space. Previously, Scott served as the Executive Director for the Wild Rivers Land Trust, Northern Alaska Environmental Center, Friends of Trees, and the Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center. He has also worked for the US EPA’s Office of Water.
With Scott’s hiring, we look forward to seeing how his vision will guide the organization moving forward. Under Scott’s leadership, FPC will continue to work with partners and our community to expand conservation efforts near and within Forest Park and Marquam Nature Park, maintain trails throughout the park, advocate for greater protections and increase access to the park.
From Scott: “I am excited to help people fall in love with, and recreate in, these incredible natural spaces inside Forest Park and Marquam Nature Park. Parks like these represent part of what makes our region livable, healthy, and fun. I look forward to working with our partners and community members to increase access, address potential fire hazards, increase connectivity with other regional greenspaces, and provide educational and volunteer opportunities for all to enjoy. I also look forward to exploring FPC’s Ancient Forest Preserve and hiking the full length of the Wildwood Trail with my kiddos!”
We look forward to working with Scott to lead the charge on our work in Forest Park and Marquam Nature Park. With his expertise and experience, we are confident he will guide the organization to even greater success.
