Hi Enzo and SEPC community!

I’m Patrick, an Arborist and private forester in Crested Butte, Colorado, USA.  I’m currently working towards a Master in Environmental Management and a Masters of Science in Ecology, with a Certificate in Ecological Restoration from Western Colorado University in Gunnison, CO.  I'll hopefully graduate this coming spring 😅.  For my MEM project, I helped set up a pre and post- monitoring plan for a Gunnison Sage-grouse wet meadows habitat restoration project we did installing rock Zeedyk structures, post-assisted log structures (PALS), wicker-wires, etc.  For my MSE project, I’m currently working on a literature review researching upland restoration in arid and semi-arid regions.

I looked into SER when I started my masters programs, but didn’t get involved until the world conference in Denver this year.
I currently own my own tree care and forestry company and would like to expand into doing more holistic, regenerative land management.  I would love to be a part of this community to connect with and learn from my peers, and possibly find potential collaborators.  I hope to see you all at the next conference!

Thanks for your leadership Enzo!
