Meet the Board

Pepperwood is grateful to be partnered with local tribal leaders through the Native Advisory Council at Pepperwood (the Council, or the NAC). Council members provide important insights into cultural and land stewardship practices that inform our research and education programs. The Council brings with them a legacy of environmental stewardship that stretches back for millennia and shares traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) that is just as relevant – and perhaps even more critical – today as it was a thousand years ago.
