Brandon Hoffner is a life-long conservationist who has focused his education and career on protecting and restoring some of the West’s most idyllic landscapes and is currently the Executive Director of the Henry’s Fork Foundation in Ashton, ID. In ten years at the Foundation (with a lot of help along the way), Brandon initiated and completed the new HFF Community Campus, instituted new programs aimed at precision management of water resources to the benefit of wild trout and irrigators, and more than doubled the impact and budget of HFF. The Henry's Fork Foundation uses a science-based, collaborative approach to fisheries conservation across the Upper Snake Basin. Changes in anadromous salmonid federal endangered species listings, settlements between surface water users and groundwater pumpers, and a warming climate since HFF's inception have pushed the organization to look beyond the Henry's Fork to find solutions to growing problems. The Henry's Fork watershed is not managed in a vacuum.Born in an eastern Colorado farming community and educated at Colorado State University in Wildlife Biology and Rangeland Ecology, Brandon hones his skills with additional training in agricultural business management, GIS, federal processes such as NEPA, and contracting with private landowners to provide technical service for private lands management through the USDA-NRCS TSP program. Working for Colorado State University, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (formerly CDOW), Pheasants Forever, Wyoming Game and Fish, and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Brandon has participated in wildlife and fisheries research projects, secured conservation funding through grants or individual philanthropy and executed landscape level habitat restoration and permanent land protection projects. Additionally, Brandon has led the formation of small workgroups aimed at building collaboration between private entities, county commissioners, conservation districts, state agencies, and federal agencies to initiate, plan, and complete complex conservation projects. Brandon enjoys spending his time following his daughters around as they play a multiple sports and dance competitively. Both he and his wife end up coaching too!

Executive DirectorHenry'S Fork Foundation Oct 2011 - PresentAshton, IdFor nearly three decades, HFF has been the voice of the Henry’s Fork, its steward, its public educator, its researcher, and its scientific expert. HFF employs a highly qualified staff of scientists and natural resource experts responsible for identifying, researching, and undertaking opportunities to protect, restore, and conserve the Henry’s Fork watershed and a professional fundraising staff to support these efforts. Each year HFF continues the work at the core of its mission through the following programs:Science and Technology Farms and FishSouth Fork InitiativeOutreach and Education• Improve fisheries: Research, identify, and implement projects to improve the Henry's Fork wild trout fishery and angling experience in this famous river.• Keep water in the river: Fish rarely get a seat at the table in water planning, especially during droughts, but federally-mandated drought management planning for the Henry’s Fork made HFF the Voice of the River. HFF’s advocacy for crucial winter stream flows has kept water in the river when juvenile trout need it most.• Cultivate future advocates for the Henry’s Fork: HFF recognizes that future generations of Foundation members and local residents will determine the fate of the Henry’s Fork. HFF seeks to expand education and outreach programs such as Trout in the Classroom (5th grade) and student internships.• Maintain river access: HFF works with local landowners, and federal, state, and county agencies to improve public access sites to the benefit of all anglers.HFF also provides leadership in the watershed through co-facilitation of the Henry's Fork Watershed Council.
