Going Green(e) in Utah:
Jack Greene was born in Wisconsin, moved to Michigan at age eight, and attended college there, but he has made his home and raised a large family in Utah for many decades. He has been one of the state’s most effective advocates for protecting, promoting, and cherishing the natural environment and a strong supporter of CCL in the Logan area. He currently lives in Smithfield, Utah. Jack has devoted his life to teaching, particularly environmental science, and has earned a reputation for effectiveness and excellence locally, nationally, and internationally in this field. He founded three nature centers in Utah, including the Ogden and Logan Centers, and two others in Minnesota. He has authored and presented a monthly public radio feature called “Wild about Utah” in the Logan area for years. He continues to serve as a dedicated mentor to high school and college students and deserves credit for empowering some of Utah’s most prominent student environmental advocates. At 82 and counting, he remains active in various year-round outdoor adventures that leave his younger friends breathless. In summary, Jack is thoroughly green in both word and deed and can teach much about the natural world.
