Marcia
Blaszak, Alaska Regional Director for the National Park Service,
announced the appointment of Bruce Greenwood as superintendent of
the Affiliated Areas of the National Park Service in Alaska. This
includes the Inupiat Heritage Center in Barrow, the Beringia Shared
Heritage Program and Aleutian World War II National Historical Park
and Visitor Center.
“Bruce is a
great addition to our management staff in Alaska,” noted Blaszak.
“He has years of experience working throughout the state on a number
of complex and controversial issues. He is an excellent collaborator
and has worked with a variety of state, federal and local agencies,
as well as the congressional delegation, non-governmental organizations
and the public.”
Greenwood received
his Bachelor’s degree from Colorado State University in Range and
Forest Management in 1976. He started his career in 1975 as seasonal
employee working for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Wyoming.
After graduation he continued working with BLM in southern Utah
in a variety of field office positions until 1989. During a brief
sabbatical, he pursued other interests including flight school,
earning a commercial pilot license in 1990. He has worked in the
NPS Alaska Region since 1992 in subsistence, environmental resources
and as a project manager.
“Our partners
reside in some of the most remote and special places and encompass
compelling stories from the Arctic whaling industry of the 19th
century, the Unangan internment in World War II, and the cultural
heritage shared by Russia and the United States” stated Greenwood.
“This is a unique opportunity and I look forward to working in concert
with our partners to tell these remarkable stories and bring them
to an ever-wider audience.”
Greenwood, 51,
enjoys a variety of activities including hiking, biking, skiing,
music and dance. His daughter, Rachel, is a student of oriental
medicine and acupuncture and lives in Sante Fe, NM. His community
involvement included past-presidency of a local non-profit organization
and for many years served as manager of their annual community event.
He and his wife, Karen, a physical therapist, reside in Anchorage.
