Tracy McFadin - Lead Grant Writer
As Lead Grant Writer, Tracy’s focus is on writing grant proposals, researching funding prospects, and developing fundraising plans for the Watershed Center’s varied programs. She is excited to be part of the Watershed Center’s work in helping communities, building partnerships, and stewarding landscapes. She enjoys the challenge of matching program needs with funding priorities and opportunities, whether for getting kids outdoors, improving habitat for anadromous fish, or supporting fire adapted communities.
Originally from lush and rainy Ketchikan, Alaska, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Geography from Oregon State University with an emphasis in soil science. Since then (she won’t say how many years ago), she has gained experience in a variety of natural resource-related jobs while living in beautiful parts of Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and California.
Her free time is spent volunteering with the Trinity Trail Alliance and the Weaverville Community Band, or enjoying quality time with her family (two and four-legged), gardening, and hiking.
