The Society for Wilderness Stewardship recently added new board member Sue Gunn! Sue, current Restoration Campaign Director for Wildlands CPR, brings years of wilderness experience to the Society and is an excellent addition to the board. "Sue is just the kind of board member that the Society needs to help the organization achieve its goal of professionalizing the discipline of wilderness stewardship," said Ben Lawhon, Vice Chair of the Society's board.
Sue has a PhD in isotope geochemistry and conducted research in igneous petrology for the US Geological Survey in Menlo Park, CA for over a decade. Her doctorate fieldwork was conducted on the Cretaceous granites of southwestern Montana and the research for her MS was in a remote area of Baja, CA. Her undergraduate degree is in Political Science with an emphasis on constitutional law.
Sue has an extensive policy background and worked for a decade in Washington DC as the director of Budget and Appropriations and later the director of the the National Parks Program for The Wilderness Society. She moved to Olympia, WA in 2006 to get closer to big wilderness and has worked on water and environmental issues. Sue is currently the Restoration Campaign Director for Wildlands CPR and the campaign coordinator for the Washington Watershed Restoration Initiative.
