Pieter Bohen, Executive Director
Pieter grew up in Philadelphia in a Quaker family and attended Merion Friends Meeting. His experience with F&W began as a camper at Tamarack Farm, and he later returned to serve on our Crew Program. Pieter holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Vermont in Wildlife Biology/Botany. Most of Pieter’s professional experience is in managing environmental nonprofit organizations. He was a founding staff member as the Director of Programs for EarthCorps (www.earthcorps.org), a Seattle based international Conservation Corps, which trains international and American young adults in leadership and habitat restoration skills. From there he was recruited to serve as Vice President of the Stewardship Program of Cascade Land Conservancy (www.cascadeland.org) where he co-founded the Green Seattle Partnership (www.greenseattle.org), a $52 million twenty-year public-private partnership to restore Seattle’s urban forests. Pieter met his wife while they were both staff at F&W in 1986, and they were proud to return to F&W twenty years later with three children, twin girls and their little brother – all of whom attend F&W camps.
