Feller to spend year at NWF 

 

 Joe Feller
Professor Joseph Feller
     Joe Feller, a professor at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, will take a leave of absence beginning in June to work for a year at the National Wildlife Federation. Feller will serve as a senior counsel in the conservation organization's Rocky Mountain Natural Resource Center in Boulder, Colo.
     The job is a perfect fit for Feller, a former physics professor at Columbia University who began teaching at the College of Law 20 years ago and is a Faculty Fellow in the College's Center for the Study of Law, Science, & Technology.
     "I share an interest with the federation in the conservation of wildlife habitats on public lands," he said. "Over the last 20 years, I've done a lot of advocacy and litigation work with them over public land-management issues.
     "I'm very excited and looking forward to the opportunity to focus on that advocacy work full time, to do some good for wildlife and to gain experience which will enhance my teaching and writing."
     Feller, an avid cross country skier, hiker and trail runner, also plans to pursue those activities in the Rockies.
