Travis Jensen is the Community Conservation Coordinator for Solidago  Conservancy in Lancaster County, Nebraska.

 Solidago Conservancy is a land trust who allies with public and private partners to conserve and connect wild lands and open space in Lincoln and Lancaster county. Solidago works to ensure that as the community grows, it incorporates green spaces that are accessible by all people.  The focus is on protecting open space and three vital natural resources in priority landscapes within the Salt Valley watershed:  wetlands, tallgrass prairie, and stream corridors.  Travis will give a presentation on how Solidago pursues their work through collaborations with public and private organizations and individuals.  He will introduce three exciting conservation projects in which Solidago plays key roles.

 Prior to joining Solidago, Travis enjoyed a 25+ year career in education, first as a high school English teacher in Lubbock, TX and Lincoln, NE and then at Nebraska Wesleyan University as an administrator and faculty member serving primarily nontraditional (adult) and transfer students.  When he’s not working, Travis and his wife, Karla enjoy traveling, entertaining, puttering, and doing pretty much anything outdoors.
