Jason Crabtree served as resident futurist within the Strategic Foresight Group at the U.S. Forest Service Northern Research Station in partnership with the University of Minnesota - St. Paul. With that team he coauthored publications for Journal of Forestry, Landscape and Urban Planning, Futures, and World Futures Review. Prior to joining the public sector, Jason was foresight project manager at Disney Parks & Resorts in Orlando. He holds a Master of Foresight from the University of Houston.
Through foresight Jason has found multiple avenues to pursue his personal passions. He satisfies his curiosity about what could be next for our society with each alternative scenario workshop or horizon scanning project. The opportunity to codevelop a strategic foresight serious game, IMPACT: Forestry Edition, let him indulge his enthusiasm for tabletop games. But more than anything, every collaboration with a public lands agency allows him to put his love of the outdoors to work.
