Ethan Kunard
Executive Director
Ethan joined MWCC as Executive Director in November 2019, and has since enjoyed the many opportunities to support community-based conservation work throughout the state. Prior to this, he worked on collaborative conservation and community planning efforts in Montana’s Madison Valley – witnessing firsthand the numerous resource management and development challenges facing many parts the Rocky Mountain West. Growing up amidst the privately owned lands that dominate the Midwest, he enjoys the abundant public land recreation opportunities available across the Big Sky country. Ethan is passionate about building partnerships that provide financial, technical, and human resources to conservation partners throughout the state, and feels grateful to be a part of the collaborative efforts to maintain healthy natural resource conditions for all who enjoy Montana’s treasured landscapes and waterways.
