Gene Duvernoy
President, Cascade Land Conservancy
Gene Duvernoy, President, Cascade Land Conservancy, has devoted more than 25 years to the preservation of parks and open space from a variety of perspectives, including research, program development and management. Under his leadership, the Cascade Land Conservancy has developed into an organization with a national reputation for negotiating cutting-edge land transactions to preserve our region’s major landscapes. Duvernoy has been instrumental in the conservation of about $500 million of critical farmland, working forests and resource lands over his career, including more than 140,000 acres as President of the Cascade Land Conservancy. In 2004, the Municipal League of King County recognized his work with its Jim Ellis Regional Leader Award. In May 2005, Duvernoy was one of the many partners who launched The Cascade Agenda, a 100-year vision to conserve great landscapes while creating great cities and towns. The Agenda has risen to be one of the key regional programs in the Puget Sound area.
