The Nature Conservancy

Nic Salick has spent his career helping people and wildlife thrive together. Much of his work has focused on improving our understanding of wildlife, habitat, and the ways people shape the landscapes around them. His experience in field ornithology has taken him across grasslands throughout the country, studying and conserving some of North America's most important ecosystems.

Before joining The Nature Conservancy, Nic worked as a private lands wildlife biologist in the Loess Hills and Missouri River region, partnering with landowners and farmers to improve habitat and incorporate wildlife-friendly practices into working lands. Today, he serves as a Development Officer for The Nature Conservancy, a global nonprofit working in all 50 states and over 80 countries around the world focused on fighting climate change and biodiversity loss. Nic works with members and supporters to advance conservation across Nebraska and beyond.

When he's not working, you'll still find nature at the center of his life—whether hiking a local trail, birding, hunting with his dog Greta, or diving into a good exploration or adventure book.
