He collaborates closely with Audubon’s policy and engagement teams to mobilize a diverse and growing constituency that champions sound environmental policy across the region.
Daniel is an active member of the Chicago Wilderness alliance, previously serving on its Steering Committee and co-chairing both the Growing with Agriculture team and the Grassland Bird Task Force.
