Larry Schmidt, STREAM Program Manager Retires
Larry Schmidt, Program Manager of the Stream Systems Technology Center since 1992 has retired after a 40-year Forest Service career. Larry began his career in 1961 as a seasonal employee on the Kaibab National Forest in Arizona and subsequently served as Forest Hydrologist on the Toiyabe National Forest , Regional Hydrologist of the Intermountain Region, Regional Water Resources Program Manager of the Southwest Region, and Riparian and Watershed Improvement Program Manager in the Washington Office prior to coming to the newly formed STREAM TEAM in 1992.
“I'm most grateful to RMRS employees and leadership, and other Stations and Regions, for helping make us successful as a unit,” says Larry. “Our biggest success has been the ability to highlight the importance of gravel bed rivers to National Forest System lands, and to engage Forest Service, academics and others in managing these important waterways.” Larry and his wife, Phyllis, have moved to the Carson Valley in western Nevada , where they are building a home.
