Johan has over 25 years of experience in hydrology and watershed restoration in the USDA Forest Service. During that time, he worked with teams to plan, design and implement projects such as road decommissioning, helicopter instream wood placement, wet meadow restoration and most recently, large-scale valley reconnection (Stage 0/8). He was a founding member of the USFS Pacific Northwest Region’s Restoration Assistance Team, visiting over 50 project sites on 17 National Forests in Oregon and Washington. Additionally, he reviewed grant applications for the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board’s Region 3 Technical Grant Review Team for 16 years. In the McKenzie River sub-basin, he worked with a partnership to complete work on over 450 acres of high value, alluvial valley habitat to benefit of ESA-listed species, fire recovery, and improve resilience.
