Bridger Cohan - Watershed Stewardship Program Associate
After a number of years as an itinerant field botanist, restoration crew leader, and wetlands manager throughout the West, Bridger is excited to join the Watershed Center here in Trinity County. As the newest member of the Watershed Stewardship Program, he will help design, manage, and implement projects that restore and enhance local waterways, wetlands, and meadows. Bridger has a broad knowledge of Northwest flora and fauna, and of the ecological processes that connect them.
Bridger received his M.S. in Biology from Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA, where he researched water quality responses to shifts in agricultural practices. Previously, he obtained a degree in Ecology and Organismal Biology with a minor in Wilderness Studies from the University of Montana in Missoula, MT, where he also developed a serious fishing habit. When not on the river for work or fun, Bridger enjoys backpacking, foraging, and making lots of wood shavings with occasionally useful byproducts.
