Sunday Assembly is a non-religious congregation that meets once a month to share our stories, create community, and learn from our experiences. We are inclusive and everyone is valued here.
Scott Burdette is a forester with the U.S. Forest Service and currently serves as Vice Chair and Acting Chair of the Sacramento-Tahoe Chapter of the Society of American Foresters. Since 2009, he has worked across the western United States, including Colorado, Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and California, in a wide range of forestry and fire management roles.
His professional experience spans fuels management, wildland fire suppression as a Hotshot firefighter, timber management, forest inventory and reconnaissance, wood and biomass utilization, and silviculture. This diverse background has provided firsthand exposure to the ecological and operational realities of forest management.
Scott earned a Master of Science in Forestry from Cal Poly Humboldt(formerly Humboldt State University). His interests include forest resilience and health, wildfire risk reduction, prescribed and cultural burning, historical forest conditions, post-disturbance restoration, human and climatic influences on forest ecosystems, wildlife habitat, and the role of forests in carbon management.
