Nancy Jacques taught fine arts for 15 years and counseled as a systems therapist before trading in paint brushes, metalsmithing tools and the appointment book for cameras and computer keyboard. Author of the The Heartcore Alternative, a study in the relationship between perception, our search for happiness, and the welfare of social and environmental systems around the globe, Nancy is also a publisher for Raven’s Eye Press, columnist for the regional southwest newspaper, The Durango Herald, writer for Good Dirt Radio, poet, and intrepid trekker and river lover. Now a member of the board of trustees of Glen Canyon Institute, she founded Friends of the Animas River and Colorado Rivers Alliance in the early 1990’s. Mother and wife, she often partners with her husband, Dave Wegner, on environmental consulting projects through Ecosystems Management International. Nancy remains steadfastly proud to call herself an environmentalist. Ignoring toplofty, surly mud-slinging the term now receives, she hasn’t turned in its use for “conservationist” or any other trendy term. Hey, the real bottom line is this: a healthy biosphere or everything turns to mush. She applauds the heroes blowing whistles on bad government and nefarious modifications of scientific documents and abhors the political slaughter of the English language.
