Please help me welcome our new District Trails and Wilderness Assistant Program Manager Canyon Young and new seasonal Trails Crew Lead Dorothy Hendrix.
Canyon Young started his federal career at the Sandia Ranger District as a seasonal, where he did a season of fire and a few seasons of trails. Leaving for a permanent position in 2020, he did a few years
with the NRCS in Santa Fe, followed by a year with the BLM in Albuquerque, both as a Rangeland Management Specialist. Since 2018, Canyon has also owned and operated a small forestry contracting business in the East Mountains, implementing thinning for wildfire
risk mitigation, as well as hazardous tree removals. As a lifelong Sandia Park resident, he is very excited to be working on his home USFS district again, and hopes to put his extensive local knowledge of the Sandias and Manzanitas to good use for SRD. Outside
of work, Canyon is an avid trail runner, skier, hunter, and mountain biker.
Hi, I'm Dorothy Hendrix and I'll be the Trail Crew Lead for the upcoming 2024 season. This will be my fourth season working on trails and my first official season as a lead! I completed my degree in Parks
and Recreation Management from Northern Arizona University and have spent the past few years working a variety of seasonal jobs in the southwest. In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors, bowling, drumming, and a variety of hobbies. I'm very excited
to be with the Sandia Ranger District for my first season with the Forest Service!
