Chris colson

Executive Director

For the past 12 years, Chris served as a Regional Biologist for Ducks Unlimited’s Eastern Oregon and Southern Idaho. His extensive experience working with landowners on wetland conservation and restoration programs brings a wealth of knowledge and connections to us.

Chris successfully facilitated the delivery of six working lands conservation easements in Idaho and Oregon over the last ten years utilizing Farm Bill and North American Wetland Conservation Act funded bargain-sale easements.

These easements protected thousands of acres of flood-irrigated wet meadows, seen as a critical habitat resource for continental populations of migrating waterfowl. The combination of Chris’s experience, passion for conservation and drive makes him an ideal fit for LTTV and our next stages of growth.
