Restoration Ecologist, Habitat Restoration Program
they/them

Llew is a Restoration Ecologist in the Habitat Restoration Program, where they manage projects to steward oak and prairie ecosystems across Oregon. Llew also focuses on restoring good fire to the landscape, and helps coordinate the Mid-Willamette Prescribed Burn Association.

Llew entered the ecology field in 2021 as a riparian restoration technician. Before settling into restoration, they dabbled in an eclectic range of work including organic farming, trail maintenance, food service, and pest control. As a former sociology major, Llew is almost always happy to dive into conversations about how ecology, history, and culture influence each other. They enjoy helping people build relationships with the plants, animals, and processes that inhabit the land around them, as well as the simple pleasure of cutting through hedges of blackberry.

Outside of work, Llew enjoys playing fiddle tunes and sharing food with friends.
