Raised at the base of Wyoming’s Teton Range, Henry owes many of his fondest childhood memories to western public lands. He began his environmental work as a high school student volunteer, conducting trout redd surveys in Teton Valley, Idaho. At the University of Vermont, Henry studied ecological and political systems as an Environmental Studies major. His love of the West brought him back to Wyoming, where he worked with the Trust for Public Land supporting conservation campaigns to transfer private lands into public ownership. Witnessing firsthand the impacts of climate change on his beloved public lands led him to join the United States Forest Service as a wildland firefighter. After five years, the escalating wildfire crisis in the American West drew him to pursue environmental law at Lewis & Clark, where he is focusing on systemic solutions for sustainable forest management.

As a law student, Henry serves as a board member and Air and Climate Project Coordinator for the Northwest Environmental Defense Center and is an incoming Form & Style Editor for Environmental Law Review. He has worked with Lewis & Clark’s Earthrise Law Center as a law clerk and clinic student, supporting efforts to defend America’s forests and waters. This summer, he will join the Crag Law Center in Portland, Oregon, as a Summer Associate. He is thrilled to continue his work as an advocate for the conservation of wild places and the communities that rely on them.
