Meet Our Staff

Protecting and restoring western watersheds and wildlife through education, public policy initiatives, and legal advocacy.

Delaney Rudy

Colorado Director

delaney@westernwatersheds.org

Delaney was born and raised in the Colorado foothills and spent her childhood exploring the mountains and forests of the Front Range and getting curious about their ecosystems. This led her to pursue a BS in Biology from the University of Puget Sound with an emphasis on ecology. Her undergraduate research focused on lichen as a bioindicator of air quality in 12 countries in Asia, and her time abroad strengthened her belief in the incredible value of American public lands. Before WWP, Delaney worked for the Forest Service in western Colorado and northern Montana for 8 seasons, on wilderness trail crews, wildland fire crews, and as a biological science tech. She lives beside the West Elk Mountains and is honored to work for the health of our public lands, the ecological communities that they sustain, and the conservation values of Coloradans.
