Growing up in the La Crosse area, Zack developed a love for the outdoors. All outdoor activities, ranging from kayaking to hunting to helping on a farm of a family friend. This love drove him in the pursuit of a degree in ecology from Winona State University. After school Zack moved northwest of the Twin Cities where he spent five years working in the ecological restoration field. Zack’s goal was to obtain skills and knowledge that he could bring back to the Driftless region, to give back to the landscape that had given him much over the years. This led him into his current role of Farm Bill biologist with Pheasants Forever for Houston County. If you have any questions about enhancing the health of your land in any capacity, feel free to give Zack a call or stop in to chat at the Houston County USDA office.
