"Passionate" is an understatement - our staff members live and breathe the Ice Age Trail. With decades of collective experience on the job with Ice Age Trail Alliance, they tap a diverse range of backgrounds that fuel their intense dedication and service to the Ice Age Trail.

Utilizing formal educations in Biology, History, Business, Fine Arts and Journalism, our staff engages a broad perspective on understanding and filling the Trail's varied needs.

Hard work is no stranger to this group. Between them, they have taught wilderness survival skills and endured Outward Bound mountaineering in the Sierras. They've worked for the National Audubon Society and a county land trust. Add the expertise of a former environmental research publication editor and the tenacity of a once fully self-supporting artist/photographer. All told, a widely knowledgeable and highly capable mix of people.

Ice Age Trail Alliance staffers find time to have fun, too. Sometimes it's sticking close to home while hiking, canoeing or watching Packer and Badger games. Other times it's guiding trips to more distant destinations like the western United States, Virgin Islands, Kenya and Galapagos Islands.

From corridor planning, land acquisition, trail layout and construction methods to land stewardship, trail maintenance, volunteer organization and support, Ice Age Trail Alliance staff members work diligently to enrich and perpetuate the legacy of the Ice Age Trail.
