Jack lienhard - recreation program MANAGER


Hailing from Ventura County, CA, Jack joined the Watershed Center in November 2021. After graduating Pasadena City College as a music major, Jack moved to Alaska, where, as a backpacking guide, he discovered a passion for outdoor education and recreation. Since then, he has traveled all over the US working at various ski resorts and tourist towns, landing positions with the National Park Service and US Forest Service, before making a permanent home in Weaverville.

Jack strongly believes in increasing access to the outdoors, hoping to inspire a new generation of stewards and reawaken the passion of adults. Jack also leads the Watershed Center's Trail Crew, assists with the Hayfork Youth Conservation Crew, and braves the winter with the Snow Survey Team. When he's not building trail, he can be found hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, snowboarding, skiing, and ferociously napping throughout Trinity County.
