Suzanne Jones
Suzanne Jones was the Regional Director for The Wilderness Society's Colorado Office in Denver. She also served as co-chair of the Southern Rockies Conservation Alliance, a coalition of 26 local, state and national groups in Colorado and southern Wyoming working to protect the wildlands and wilderness of the Southern Rockies.
Before moving back to Colorado where she spent much of her youth, Suzanne worked in Washington, D.C. for three years for the National Wildlife Federation lobbying on endangered species issues, and a year working as a congressional staffperson for the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee.
Suzanne has a M.S. in Resource Policy and Management from the University of Michigan’s School of Natural Resources and a B.S. in Natural Resources from Cornell University.
Suzanne spent most of her summers growing up in the Crystal River Valley, where she developed a profound love of wilderness. When she is not busy advocating for public lands protection, she can often be found playing ultimate frisbee, a sport she competed in for over a decade on a nationally ranked women’s team from the Denver/Boulder area with her twin sister Elise.
