Also love alpine skiing, and consider it a matter of course that colleagues are off work on powder days.

Awards:
Two Chiefs' Partnership Award
US Forest Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service
From the Corning Observer, Jan. 11, 2008: "The Mendocino National Forest (MNF) has received a national award for outstanding partnerships and collaboration on the Alder Springs hazardous fuel reduction and carbon sequestration research project. The Two Chiefs’ Partnership Awards honored five projects nationwide that “demonstrate successful collaboration in conservation and forest stewardship.” The award was announced in Washington, D.C., by Forest Service Chief Abigail Kimbell and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Chief Arlen Lancaster at a joint meeting of leaders from the Forest Service, NRCS, National Association of State Foresters, and National Association of Conservation Districts. Partners with the MNF on the Alder Springs project are California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), Winrock International, Forest Service Pacific Southwest Research Station (PSW) and Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region State and Private Forestry (R5). In announcing the award, Chief Kimbell said, “This cutting edge partnership will result in improved forest health, fuel reduction and comprehensive insight into carbon sequestration (storage) methods." Representing the Pacific Southwest Research Station in the Alder Spring project is Dr. Mark Nechodom, Director of Social and Policy Sciences.
Creekside Chats on Ecosystem Management
Bureau of Land Management, California State Office
I led a year-long series of facilitated workshops focused on the practical implications of ecosystem management for federal land management agencies. Way back in the '90s, this was something of a new concept, a different way of understanding resource management issues, and a far more integrated way of delivering public service. BLM created an award and honored me by inviting me subsequently to develop more specific courses through my program at UC Davis Extension.
