Marietta Eaton

Marietta Eaton is retired from a 35-year career with the US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management as an archaeologist and conservationist,  including a stint as the National Conservation Lands Science Advisor in Washington, D.C. She closed her career as the manager of the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in Colorado, where she worked closely with indigenous people to whom the area is sacred. Born in New Mexico, she relates that her summers in the Jemez Mountains “nurtured my love for the outdoors and creatures that shared the earth with me.”  After retirement, she returned to New Mexico and sought  to volunteer in the conservation community. She found that the New Mexico Wildlife Federation appealed to her varied interests, ranging from outdoor education through wildlife, water and habitat management.
