Ann works in an interdisciplinary fashion with all Forest Service disciplines, other U.S. and international government agencies and our partners on Wilderness issues. For Ann, watching relationships flourish between different types of wilderness stewards is fascinating because each have different perspectives and experiences either operationally or philosophically which aids in creating a solid foundation for constructive discourse for better management.
