Haley Coopergard

After getting a Bachelors of Science in Biology, Haley spent the last 7 years doing conservation work like native plant restoration, trail work, and fuels reductions. Finding a passion for fuels reduction, Haley has focused on mitigation efforts for severe wildland fires via chainsaws, crosscuts, wildland firefighting, and prescribed fire. Haley is also pursuing her State-Certified Prescribed-Fire Burn Boss in hopes to implement more good fire. She hopes to get her hometown community more fire-prepared and understanding of fire’s place on the natural landscape.
