Michael is the current District Manager for the Feather River Resource Conservation District. He came to Plumas County in 2011 and was immediately captured by the wide open spaces, ample access to public lands and low population density. After working as a wildlife biologist and GIS technician, he began working for the Feather River RCD as a Forestry technician and eventually a Project Coordinator. His current work includes fire recovery, including vegetation management and reforestation, and fuels reduction projects. He is walking the fine line between cutting trees down and planting new ones. In his spare time he can be found sampling the wide range of outdoor activities in the region including fishing, hiking, skiing, and getting lost in the forest. Michael hopes to bring new project opportunities and partnerships to the Plumas County Firesafe Council.
