Elizabeth Swisher
Board Candidate for Region 13 Director (WY, ID, MT)
Elizabeth has served on the Idaho Wildlife Federation board for the last five years because she is committed to helping hunters, anglers, and all outdoor enthusiasts present a united voice and advocate for conservation of Idaho’s public lands, wildlife and natural resources. She appreciates wildness and understands the important roles that sound research, community education, and responsible management play in long term conservation.
Growing up in northwest Pennsylvania, her love and respect for the outdoors was instilled at a young age through many days of hunting, fishing, and exploring in the forests, rivers, and mountains. She and her husband are laying that same foundation for their son, who started enjoying nights under the stars at five months old.
Elizabeth fell in love with the Idaho wilderness during a summer spent working as a ranger and hiking guide at Craters of the Moon National Monument. She returned to Idaho after completing both a master’s degree in environmental law and a law degree at Vermont Law School, and is currently an attorney in Boise. Elizabeth enjoys Idaho’s public lands and natural wonders through many means including fishing, hunting, camping, rafting, and skiing, and is motivated to help preserve Idaho adventures for all generations.
