Rachael Foe works to bring climate-informed reforestation and strong partnerships to the Southern Rockies region. Prior to joining American Forests, Rachael worked as the reforestation coordinator for the New Mexico Forestry Division. In that role, she brought stakeholders together to address gaps related to the reforestation pipeline. Rachael’s experiences with prescribed fire policy, post-fire response and recovery, and diverse communities bring insight to what “resilience” means across varied forested landscapes and through different lenses. As Rachael works to build continuity in reforestation across the region, she brings with her an understanding of the power that’s interwoven between people and place. Rachael holds a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Montana and a bachelor’s in history education from Northern Arizona University. She lives in New Mexico.
