Here’s a note from Kevin Dunbar
I am a 4th generation resident of Western Colorado, making my children, Jackson (12) and Brooklyn (9) the 5th generation of my family to call Colorado’s Western Slope home. I grew up in Meeker, CO where I still have family, and currently live in Cedaredge, CO. I hold a concurrent bachelor’s degree in secondary education and biology from the University of Wyoming (2008) and a Master of Natural Resources Stewardship degree, specializing in restoration ecology, from Colorado State University (2019).
I worked in education for 16 years as a high school biology teacher before making the jump to natural resource conservation. I consider myself an outdoorsman and sportsman, which is a traditional lifestyle that has been passed down from generations before me, and I hope to continue having the opportunity to pass these outdoor and sporting traditions on to future generations. I enjoy spending time with family hunting (big game, small game, upland birds and waterfowl), fishing, hiking, camping and OHV riding. I believe these activities help instill perseverance, work ethic and respect for the landscape and the wildlife that inhabit the many different ecosystems of the state. I also feel there is a greater appreciation for the outdoors and wildlife when experienced firsthand.
When I am not out chasing wild game or trying to catch a fish, my wife and I are following our kids to their sporting events of baseball, football, basketball, soccer and swimming. We enjoy catching a Rockies baseball game every summer at Coors Field and a Broncos game is on the list to get to next.
I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the expanding Pheasants Forever, Inc. and Quail Forever team in Colorado. I look forward to helping advance the mission and vision of the habitat organization working towards habitat conservation for all wildlife in western Colorado.
