Jonathan Milne

Jonathan’s unique blend of conservation expertise and aviation exposure makes him a valuable addition to the LightHawk team. Aviation has been part of his life since childhood, growing up with a father who flew historic aircraft and a brother who served as a USMC helicopter pilot.

Before joining LightHawk, Jonathan spent nearly a decade as a park ranger, first with the BLM in Oregon and later at Maine’s Baxter State Park. Throughout his career, he has contributed to ecological and wetland assessments, easement monitoring for multiple land trusts, and forestry surveys across New England. He holds a B.S. in Recreation and Park Management from the University of Maine and an M.S. in Environmental Science and Conservation Biology from Green Mountain College in Vermont.
