Director
Mark Fowler, a retired high school science teacher and dedicated conservationist, has deep roots in the Lincoln community. His passion for the environment stems from a lifelong fascination with nature, fueled by global travel exploring diverse habitats and observing endangered species.
Mark has served on numerous boards and commissions, including the Placer County Fish & Game Commission and the Western Placer Education Foundation. At Lincoln High School, he developed the innovative School Farm Program, where the Wildlife Heritage Foundation is proud to act as steward over a conservation easement.
Beyond the classroom, Mark organizes outdoor education programs, leads youth nature trips, and participates in community events such as annual bird counts. In 2015, the Placer Land Trust honored him as Placer Conservator of the Year for his tireless efforts to protect local lands.
Mark believes common-sense approaches can protect our planet’s biodiversity and that the Wildlife Heritage Foundation plays a vital role in California’s conservation efforts.
