Elaine Harvey manages the Rock Creek Fish and Habitat Project for the Yakama Nation Fisheries Resource Management Program. In 2018 Harvey was awarded the Biologist of the Year by the Native American Fish and Wildlife Society, recognizing her work that initially started the project. Harvey also has a passion for preserving knowledge of traditional tribal foods and works with Gifford Pinchot National Forest to preserve her tribe's ancestral huckleberry picking grounds.
Glenn has been active with Columbia Land Trust since its founding in 1990 and became executive director in 1999. Glenn currently serves on the Leadership Council for the Land Trust Alliance, and is a past board member of the Alliance and the Washington State Parks Foundation, among many other groups. Glenn is a believer in the land’s ability to uplift the human spirit.
