Sam Radcliffe

After a long career in the forestry consulting and land management business, I retired at the end of 2018. I am currently open to short term temporary opportunities in different areas (in or out of forestry) where my analytical skills would fit. I plan to be very selective in this process, as I already have a busy schedule with a growing family, a 100-year old house, and becoming more engaged with my local community, which was never a part of my professional career. Then there's golf ;-)

After a long career in the forestry consulting and land management business, I retired at the end of 2018. I am currently open to short term temporary opportunities in different areas (in or out of forestry) where my analytical skills would fit, consulting or volunteer. I plan to be very selective in this process, as I already have a busy schedule with a growing family, a 100-year old house, and becoming more engaged with my local community, which was never a part of my professional career.
