The Oregon State Marine Board recently filled a vacancy on its membership with a Rogue Valley resident who is the director of Jackson County Roads and Parks.
Steve Lambert has worked in public park management for three decades. He began his career in parks and recreation in eastern Washington while earning a degree in Natural Resource Management from Washington State University.
After college, Lambert spent a short amount of time working for the US Army Corps of Engineers on the Snake River in Clarkston, Washington, where his duties included patrolling the river to ensure safe and responsible use. In 1999, he moved to the Willamette Valley where he managed recreation facilities at three reservoirs.
In 2009, Lambert and his family relocated to the Rogue Valley where he currently manages county park facilities on five reservoirs and the Rogue River.
Steve is passionate about providing boating access for Oregonians in a close-to-home experience. He said he is devoted to meeting the recreational needs of his fellow Oregonians. In his spare time, you can find him paddling local waters with his wife and their two dogs.
