Jordan DeLawder

Jordan grew up in western Maryland, spending his childhood exploring the woods and fields near his home. His rural upbringing, along with his Quaker education, gave him a deep respect for nature.

He earned a degree in environmental engineering from Tufts University, then worked on organic farms in Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Oregon. There, he gained hands-on experience in regenerative agriculture and built strong connections with local communities.

In 2023, Jordan joined Clackamas SWCD, where he helps landowners and farmers with conservation planning, providing them with the knowledge and resources they need to care for their land.

Outside of work, Jordan enjoys photography, rock climbing, and foraging for mushrooms.
