Scott Flint

Scott Flint is a dedicated natural resource conservation professional and has spent a lifelong career with the State of California, working every day to make a difference for this planet.

He has consistently been on the cutting edge of complex environmental issues as a big picture thinker and during his forty-one years on the job he served the public as a trusted, hard-working, problem-solver. Scott loves working and leading in a team setting. As a leader, supervisor and a mentor, he has learned to successfully develop environmental champions and then get out of their way — to let them excel at whatever they do best.

His experience as a conservationist and environmental regulator has been broad, encompassing hazardous waste and contaminant cleanup, water rights and water quality issues, wetlands protection, fish and wildlife conservation, endangered and sensitive species permitting, conservation lands management and climate change science. Scott has developed expertise working with or within almost every environmental regulatory program implemented by both the State and federal governments.

Born and raised in Sacramento, California, Scott studied Biological Oceanography at Humboldt State University and received his Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Conservation from Sacramento State University. He maintains ongoing educational interest and expertise in plant ecology, wetland and riparian systems, and natural resource conservation and management.

In his personal time, Scott enjoys his family, and time outdoors to pursue walking, hiking, landscape photography and to promote outdoor education.
