Orion Hatch
Executive Director
Orion Hatch joined the Snake River Fund team in 2020. As Program Director, he channeled his love of the river and enthusiasm as a naturalist into thoughtful community engagement culminating in 2022 with Jackson Hole’s inaugural Snake River Fest.
As Executive Director, Hatch works to foster partnerships, cultivate support, influence policy, and engage the public all in the name of stewardship of and public access to the Snake River and its headwater tributaries.
Hatch has a degree in Hydrogeology from the University of Massachusetts and takes a keen interest in the geologic and fluvial forces that have helped shape the landscape. His science-based stewardship, love of recreation, and his attachment to the global river community continue to serve him well in his position as Executive Director. You can catch him running his Shredder down the Gros Ventre, dropping a line in the Greys, or swimming after his surfboard in Lunch Counter.
