A native Oregonian from Southwest Oregon, Heidi has always preferred spending her time exploring the great outdoors and the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Before beginning her education at Oregon State University, Heidi worked as a whitewater raft guide in Idaho, Washington and California, as a wildland firefighter throughout the western US and lived for three months in the backcountry of the Yukon Territory. She enjoys sharing her love for the outdoors and knowledge of the forest products industry with clients while helping identify their land management goals and forestry needs. With more than fifteen years of experience Heidi brings practical and creative solutions to complex and unique situations. She believes Oregon's natural resource industries are essential in maintaining healthy thriving communities, and prides herself on being a steward of the land she manages. She is the founder and owner of Flyway Forestry, is typically accompanied by her sidekick Lake, a black Labrador, and is based out of the Willamette Valley.
