The Superior National Forest announced the hiring of Drew Stroberg as permanent deputy forest supervisor, previously held by Shannon Rische. Stroberg was previously the district ranger on the Klamath National Forest and Butte Valley National Grassland-Goosenest Ranger District.
After graduating from Colorado State University with a degree in forestry, Stroberg immediately started with the Forest Service. He worked seasonal timber crew positions on the San Juan, Pike-San Isabel, and Arapahoe- Roosevelt National Forests before accepting his first permanent assignment as the timber crew foreman on the Ashley National Forest.
Stroberg then moved to the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest as a pre-sale forester, and went on to be the timber management assistant on the Gunnison Ranger District of the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forests.
“Since I started with the Forest Service, one of my goals was to have a positive impact on our employees, the landscapes we manage, and the communities we serve. I always felt that being in a line officer position would allow me to have the greatest impact in these areas. I look forward to working with everyone on the Superior,” said Stroberg.
A deputy supervisor represents and shares responsibility with the forest supervisor in providing leadership and direction to all activities on the national forest.
