Dylan Alsbach

Conservation Forester

​Dylan joined FCCD in August of 2020. Before coming to Fort Collins, Dylan was a Forestry Specialist for the state of Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources and specialized in the Good Neighbor Authority Act, working alongside the US Forest Service. He has worked in forestry and plant monitoring in California, Tennessee, Pennsylvania and in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He earned a B.S. in Forestry and Ecological Restoration from the University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point.
 
Dylan hit the ground running and has already assisted in setting up and overseeing several active projects. He is very enthusiastic about restoring our forests on the front range and hopes to bring an enhanced perspective to the work.
 
When he’s not working, Dylan is most likely mountain biking, spending time with his dog, or busy with his nose in a book. 
Board of Supervisors
The Board of Supervisors makes important decisions about the conservation needs in the district, including hiring staff to address resource concerns, managing district finances, and ensuring that conservation efforts are successful and effective. The board is made up of landowners within the Conservation District boundaries who have a vested interest in conserving the resources within our district.
