Luke Coffey

Luke joined the NFF in 2022 as the Rocky Mountain Development Coordinator. Originally from Southeastern Kentucky, he grew up on a working cattle farm in an agrarian community that bordered Daniel Boone National Forest. It was in roaming the eastern hardwood forests of “The Daniel Boone” that instilled in him a love of being outdoors and in open spaces.

Luke works closely with the Rocky Mountain Region field staff on conservation partnerships, fund raising, and collaborations within the landscapes of Colorado and Wyoming. Luke works with the team on raising funds for projects that range from watershed and forest health, wildfire mitigation and post-fire recovery, to recreation infrastructure and beyond.

Luke is an avid reader and writer and is always happy to talk literature! As a Kentuckian, he usually starts with Wendell Berry and goes from there!
