We hope you can join us this evening (Tuesday, September 1st at 6:00 PM) in the SRD conference room for our second to last general membership meeting of the year. Bjorn Fredrickson, Conservation Director at New Mexico Wild, will be our guest speaker.

Bjorn grew up in Seattle, and spent his childhood and young adult years frequenting public lands across the West. Experiences in remote settings – often in designated wilderness – instilled in him a passion for wild places and environmental issues. These passions led Bjorn to obtain B.A and M.S. degrees in environmental studies and science from Yale University, as well as a graduate certificate in wilderness management from the University of Montana. In the initial chapter of his career, Bjorn spent 13 years working with the U.S. Forest Service, with positions focused on the management of recreation, wilderness, wild & scenic rivers, commercial uses and infrastructure, archaeology, and minerals in Washington DC, Washington State, California, and New Mexico. He joined the team at New Mexico Wild in 2023 and is engaged heavily in the organization’s federal lands advocacy, public lands defense, and stewardship work.

Feel free to bring a friend or family member. For our newest members, please note that access to the SRD conference room is located on the north side of the building. Doors will open at 5:30 PM.

Sincerely,
Kerry Jones
