Glenn Fee (he/him)

Executive Director

Growing up in southern Ohio, Glenn and his brother spent long days exploring the creek near their family's home, following it to the Little Miami River near the confluence of the Ohio River. Glenn's love of the outdoors eventually led him to Colorado, where he spent a number of years leading community-based and international immersion programs at the University of Denver before serving as Executive Director of Bluff Lake Nature Center, an urban wildlife refuge and education center in Denver.

Glenn has a passion for advancing opportunities for underserved communities, work that has been at the core of his career. In his free time, he spends considerable time with his partner and family exploring the Northwest by bike, foot, and paddle. A passionate music fan, Glenn volunteers with the Pickathon Music Festival and consistently seeks out new artists. Glenn lives with his family in Northeast Portland.

Jessica Parsons (she/her)

Administrative & Membership Assistant

Jessica is a second-generation Oregonian who grew up camping mostly on Mt. Hood. She’s fished a few times, a crabbed a few times, caught a lot of frogs... and somewhere along the line, it shaped her soul.

Following a BS in education from Western Oregon University, and long career in the field, Jessica is now a homeschooling mom of 2 young children who also have a deep love of the outdoors. As a co-admin at Wild Recess, a local nature-based adventure and education co-op, she has the opportunity to instill an appreciation for the outdoors in people of all ages.

Volunteerism has driven her all over this world, from supporting the nurses in a failure to thrive clinic in Romania through Global Volunteers to helping rebuild the brackish coastline of the Louisiana bayou with In Good Company and, of course, our own "backyard" here in the PNW. Before joining the team, Jessica was a volunteer with our Stewardship program, where she helped maintain Dirksen Nature Park’s oak savanna habitat. You’ll often find Jessica, her husband, and two children camping, backpacking, bicycling, or kayaking all across Oregon and Washington. Her favorite place to kayak on the Tualatin River is simply upstream of the 99W launch and she can’t wait to share this excitement with the Riverkeepers community!

Phoebe moved from Los Angeles to Oregon to pursue a J.D. from Lewis & Clark Law School. She is interested in environmental law, specifically clean water and land use.

While in undergrad she interned with USC Sea Grant and from there developed her interest in environmental impacts that affect coastal communities.
