IWF Names Nick Fasciano Executive Director

The Idaho Wildlife Federation is excited to announce the appointment of Nick Fasciano as our new Executive Director.

A dedicated advocate for Idaho’s wildlife and habitat, he brings a wealth of experience to the role. He previously served as the head of policy for the Idaho Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, where he worked closely with IWF staff in the Idaho Legislature to ensure the voices of sportsmen and women were heard by our elected representatives.

Fasciano has been an active partner on a range of priorities central to IWF’s mission. He has advocated for the recovery of Idaho’s wild salmon and steelhead runs, worked to push land management agencies to include the latest science on wildlife migration corridors in land use decisions, and has been a consistent defender of public access to Idaho’s abundant public lands and waters.

“It has been a privilege to work alongside IWF in the past, and I’m thrilled to be coming on board as a member of the team," says Fasciano. “Since its founding in 1936, IWF has been a leading voice for conservation in Idaho, and many of our most cherished wild places would simply not be here today without the dedication of IWF’s staff and supporters. It is the honor of a lifetime to help push that legacy forward.”

An avid hunter and angler, Fasciano is based in Boise where he is working to get his young lab, Corbett, ready for bird season.

Nick officially begins his tenure with IWF this week, Sept. 16th - 20th. Nick can be reached via email at NFasciano@idahowildlife.org.
