Mitchell Ives

I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in forestry and environmental management. Currently, I serve as a Contract Officer’s Representative at the Ottawa National Forest, where I perform quality control inspections on timber sale marking contracts. My role involves ensuring compliance with silvicultural and operability specifications, collaborating with contractors, and providing insights for award decisions. My commitment to quality and attention to detail have been instrumental in maintaining high standards in contract performance.

Previously, I worked as a Lead Forestry Technician, where I coordinated daily operations for a team engaged in pre-timber sale forestry work. My experience includes making critical decisions in the field and participating in wildland fire suppression operations. I also served as the Coordinator for the Timberland Invasives Partnership, where I was the central point of contact for various stakeholders and pursued grant opportunities to support our mission of managing invasive species. My educational background in Environmental Studies has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute effectively to environmental projects.
