Next up among our new Board Members is Doug Tolman from Salt Lake City, Utah!
Doug (he/him) is a passionate public land advocate who spends most of his time in the Great Basin and Colorado Plateau, working in a policy role at a small-but-mighty conservation non-profit.
Bikepacking since 2018, he values the place-learning aspect of multi-day trips as a way to connect with land and rural communities and sees bikepacking as one of the best tools for building a community of advocates for conservation and dispersed recreation access.
We are excited to have Doug joining our growing org and supporting our advocacy efforts and more!
