Six Rivers Welcomes New Staff in Leadership Roles

This is a press release from Six Rivers National Forest:

Jennifer Dyer

Ted McArthur, forest supervisor for the Six Rivers National Forest (SRNF), has announced that two key leadership positions have been filled on the forest.

Jennifer Dyer was selected as the public services staff officer that oversees the recreation, engineering, lands and minerals, and heritage programs on the SRNF. When she came to the SRNF in 2014 as the forest’s heritage program manager, she had already been a professional archeologist for 13 years, including 12 years as a district archeologist for the Jemez and Cuba ranger districts on the Santa Fe National Forest. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Jennifer has a B.A. in Anthropology from the University of California-Santa Cruz, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of New Mexico. Jennifer is married and has three boys. Jennifer began her new position in mid-September.

Jennifer is excited for the opportunity to be a member of the forest leadership team and represent the Public Services team. She said, “The Six Rivers is full of natural beauty and cultural significance, and I look forward to working with our staff and our communities to increase opportunities for us all to connect to our beautiful forest.”

Jeremy Marshall

Jeremy Marshall has been selected as the natural resource staff officer that oversees the hydrology and geology, wildlife and fisheries biology, timber, botany, and environmental planning programs on the SRNF. Currently the West Zone District Ranger on the Carson National Forest in New Mexico, Jeremy began his Forest Service career in 1996 as a field ecologist with the Rocky Mountain Research Station in Fort Collins, Colorado. Over the past two decades, he has also worked on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest as a silviculturist, the Willamette National Forest as the natural resource staff officer, the Santa Fe National Forest as the implementation leader for the Southwest Jemez Mountains Collaborative Forest Landscape (CFLRP) Restoration Project, and the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest as the Bridgeport District Ranger.

Jeremy holds a B.A. in Forest Ecology from Humboldt State University. “I’m excited to come back to the North Coast and dust off my fishing poles and work with the Six Rivers team, stakeholders and partners, using the skills I have gained in various landscape collaboratives across the west,” said Jeremy. Arriving in December, Jeremy replaces Carolyn Cook, who retired in July.
