Jason did a fantastic job getting oriented to the Lands Program and brought great energy and new ideas to the team. Jason initiated several major and time intensive projects last year, including developing a carbon credit project, leading a land trust certification effort, increasing opportunities for our team to work with tribal partners and BIPOC communities, addressing a large backlog of restoration and forest health needs, and organizing and streamlining our internal systems (including work plans, budgets, grants, and file management). Jason excels at fostering connections between people and teams, all with a positive attitude and great sense of humor. He works hard to foster relationships within internal teams and with outside partners (such as Tribes, landowners, and the public). He always shows humility and respect both internally and externally and works hard to be inclusive, constantly seeking to collaborate with other teams and stakeholders. Jason is committed to providing opportunities for underserved communities to participate in stewardship activities in the community. Perhaps most importantly, Jason wonderful to work with. He is an inspiring leader and a great manager, always willing to provide me with advice and feedback on issues that arose at work and challenging me to think of better ways to do my job. He is also a skilled writer and public presenter. I highly recommend Jason Lederer."
