Michael Jamison2020Conservationist and writer Michael Jamison has worked for more than a decade with the National Parks Conservation Association, and currently serves as Senior Program Manager for the Crown of the Continent Initiative. This project, based in the transboundary Rocky Mountains of northwest Montana and southern Canada, encompasses Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park and the surrounding 18-million-acre ecosystem. The goal is to work at the intersection of conservation, community and culture, forging a sustainable future for the region’s people, places, wildlife and wildlands. A longtime Montana resident, Michael’s storytelling explores the interaction between people and the landscapes they call home. This includes park-adjacent recreation communities, traditional timber and ranching economies, and long-standing tribal and first nation cultures. All bios are from the year the award was presented.
