Idaho Salmon and Dams; What Does the Future Hold?

Justin is the executive director for the Idaho Conservation League, an Idaho-based, statewide conservation organization working to protect the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the wildlife and wildlands that you love. The Idaho Conservation League, or ICL, is Idaho’s leading voice for conservation.

In leading ICL, Justin relies on his unique blend of science-based technical skills, public policy experience, and love of people and the outdoors. Prior to becoming ICL’s executive director, Justin served as the director of ICL’s conservation programs for 18 years.

He has a master of science in Earth Systems, focusing on ecosystem management, a bachelor of science in Earth Systems and a bachelor of arts in Human Biology, all from Stanford University.

A native Idahoan, Justin rejoices in the knowledge that his work is protecting the things that make Idaho a great place to live – our spectacular landscapes, wildlife, clean air, and clean water.

Justin lives in Boise and enjoys spending his free time hunting and fishing in Idaho’s backcountry, mountain biking, skiing, and running Idaho’s amazing rivers.
