By Monica Nigon
Good morning! I’d like to introduce myself as the new Coordinator for the San Juan Headwaters Forest Health Partnership. I am Monica Nigon, and I’m taking over Alex’s position as we transition to a more local leadership model. As a resident of Pagosa Springs, I am excited to be part of the this team as we continue the organization’s mission of improving the health of our forests and watersheds and increasing community resilience.
I am currently a remote graduate student at Western Colorado University where I am pursuing a Master of Environmental Management degree with a certificate in Ecosystem Restoration. I’m enthusiastic about Headwaters’ collaborative model including regional and cross boundary solutions to a better, healthier future.
As I am eager to serve as an effective Coordinator, I’d love to hear and learn from you all! Please don’t hesitate to reach out via this email (coordinator@sajuanheadwaters.org) to schedule a meeting with me virtually or in person. You can also text or call me at 719-581-0902.
