Russell Clark

Outreach and Events Manager

Vitae

Russell joined the Henry’s Fork Foundation in September 2025 as the Outreach and Events Manager. Originally from Minnesota, he earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Minnesota. A self-described “jack of all trades,” Russell brings a wide-ranging skill set shaped by years of work and life experience across the country and abroad. His past roles include wilderness therapy facilitator, backcountry guide, outdoor educator, experiential high school teacher, corporate team builder, firefighter and EMT, trip and event planner, entrepreneur, farmer, and rancher.

Russell’s connection to the Upper Snake River region runs deep, his parents were raised in St. Anthony and Teton, and he spent many summers visiting his grandparents’ farm. Today, he and his wife Gaby live on a portion of that family farm in St. Anthony, where they focus on regenerative agriculture and growing and raising much of their own food for themselves, neighbors, and friends.

Outside of work, Russell enjoys life on the farm with his wife and their many animals, as well as hiking, backpacking, snowboarding, and working on his fly-fishing skills. He and Gaby also love traveling, camping, and exploring the nearby national parks.

“I feel privileged to be part of such an impactful team and honored to contribute to conserving the natural landscapes and watershed that have shaped me and continue to inspire me every day.”
