Joe Stout is the new Eldorado National Forest supervisor. His first day on the job was Jan. 17. Based in Sacramento, Stout has served as the associate state director for the Bureau of Land Management in California since May 2015. Stout replaces Jeff Marsolais, who accepted an associate deputy chief position in Washington, DC.
“I am excited to take on this new leadership role with the Eldorado National Forest and look forward to actively engaging with our staff, partners, organizations and local communities in the shared stewardship of the forest,” Stout states in an Eldorado National Forest news release.
His leadership experience includes serving as acting BLM California state director from fall 2018 to early 2020.
Prior to coming to California Stout spent six years in BLM’s Washington Office as the acting chief of staff for the Director’s Office, chief of the Decision Support, Planning and National Environmental Policy Act Division and as a legislative affairs specialist. He also worked in Colorado as the acting associate state director, state office planning and NEPA coordinator and acting assistant field manager in the Kremmling Field Office.
As forest supervisor, Stout will lead a team that oversees four ranger districts and manages programs in natural resources, fire and aviation management, public services and engineering.
The Eldorado National Forest includes more than 600,000 acres within major watersheds of the American, Consumnes and Mokelumne rivers. These lands provide many ecological, economic and recreational benefits.
Stout holds a master’s degree in public administration (environmental policy, management and law) from the University of Colorado in Denver. His undergraduate work was in sociology and environmental studies at the State University of New York at Fredonia.
Along with his wife and two boys, Stout loves spending time in the outdoors, including backpacking, fly fishing and skiing.
