Derek Rogers has worked for more than fifteen years in conservation, with over a decade in environmental nonprofits. His deep passion for bird conservation helped him connect people to nature as Director of Preserves for The Nature Conservancy Long Island and, most recently, as the Stewardship Manager at the Adirondack Land Trust. Derek has guided birding and conservation field trips across eastern New York and in Central and South America.
His dedication to birding and conservation extends beyond the workplace to volunteer and citizen science leadership roles. He has volunteered with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology eBird program for more than ten years as a review coordinator for New York's Adirondack and Long Island regions. He served as a member of the New York State Avian Records Committee, and has been a long time contributor to The Kingbird, a quarterly journal devoted to preserving and understanding New York State’s ornithological history.
Derek loves sharing his passion for birds and wildlife through his photographs and has contributed his work to several conservation and tourism publications. He believes in the power of photography to help advance wildlife and land conservation efforts.
