Erin Licata
Board of Directors
she/her/hers
As a Pacific Northwest native, Erin has worked and played in nature her whole life. Erin resonates with “protecting what she loves” by dedicating herself to the seventh-generation perspective, which imparts that our actions today should benefit at least the next seven generations. Knowing that humans are not separate from nature and that people’s health is undeniably intertwined with the health of our environment, she believes that our relationship with nature should be one of reciprocity and that we all have the ability and responsibility to cultivate the environment, not destroy it.
Erin lives on Fidalgo Island in Anacortes with her daughter and husband, Sam. Erin and Sam are the co-founders and directors of the Madrona Institutes’ Coast Salish Youth Stewardship Corps, and their daughter has been the youngest participating member. Erin holds a BS in Environmental Science from Huxley College of the Environment, WWU. She began her career in industrial environmental compliance monitoring, propelling her toward environmental research, biological monitoring, and youth outdoor experiential learning. She is excited to bring her experience to collaborate and serve the Friends of the San Juans.
