Community Engagement Coordinator Salt Lake City, Utah -- Colorado Plateau Project Manager Escalante, Utah

Hunter Warren: Community Engagement Coordinator Salt Lake City, Utah

As Community Engagement Coordinator for Wildlands Network, Hunter builds community and partnerships throughout our project areas.

Hunter is an environmentalist and outdoorsman passionate about maintaining the well-being of the wild spaces he loves and creating a healthier planet for us all. He also strives for environmental justice, because although environmental issues affect everyone, the impacts of these problems are particularly harmful to already vulnerable communities.

Hunter has previous experience in nonprofit marketing and development and graduated from Indiana University with degrees in marketing, sales, and sustainable business. When he’s not working, Hunter’s likely enjoying Utah’s natural beauty by hiking, climbing, or failing to land a big jump on his snowboard. His other interests include boxing, photography, and Star Wars.


Lindsday Martingale: Colorado Plateau Project Manager Escalante, Utah

Lindsay grew up hiking, paddling, climbing, and fishing in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas which inspired her to earn her bachelor’s degree in environmental science from the University of Central Arkansas. After college she moved to the Colorado Plateau where she fell in love with the stark beauty, deep canyons, and precious rivers and lakes of canyon country. Through her experience fighting wildfires, working for a non-profit conservation organization, being a part of an environmental consulting team, and her time as a park ranger, she brings a passion for people and place to the Wildlands team. 

After experiencing the healing power of wild spaces, she returned to school to better understand and advocate for wildlands. She earned a graduate certificate in Wilderness Management from the Arthur Carhart Wilderness Training Center at the University of Montana and was a part of a team that received the Wes Henry Excellence in Wilderness Stewardship award. 

Lindsay currently lives in Escalante, UT where she enjoys hiking, fly fishing, guitar picking, reading, cooking, and floating the Escalante River when the water’s high.
