About

Jon has been with the Network since 2016, and has filled a variety of roles, including managing the Catalyst Fund through its seven years of grantmaking and peer learning, before stepping into the Director role in 2023. Jon brings to NLC 20 years’ experience in working to advance collaborative landscape conservation and stewardship. Prior to joining the Network he coordinated the South Mountain Partnership, a regional landscape conservation initiative in south-central Pennsylvania, and spent three years on the staff of the Boston-based Kendall Foundation. He is also a senior fellow of the Environmental Leadership Program. A graduate of Middlebury College and the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Jon lives in western Massachusetts with his wife and their two little ones. Too much of his work is done in front of a computer, and he embraces any opportunity to get away from a screen—especially if the escape is on two wheels or–when the snow is good–skis.
