Development Director, Wallowa Resources:After growing up in the neighboring Grande Ronde Valley, Larz left to play intercollegiate basketball and start a career in the big city, but he always dreamed of returning to NE Oregon and giving back to the place and people that helped craft his values and a strong sense of place. After spending most of his career working in the metropolitan areas of Honolulu, Beijing, and Portland, he’s excited to be back in the mountains and living in a vibrant rural community. He has a passion for connecting people to the natural resources that support them, outdoor education, and bridging the urban/rural divide. He is excited to be an advocate for the land stewards across the west that are doing great things for the land, water and communities.
