The Sequoia National Forest welcomed its newest Forest Supervisor, Anthony (Tony) Edwards, on February 26, 2024.

Tony previously served as the Deputy Forest Supervisor for the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forests in the Rocky Mountain Region, a position he held since 2020. Before that, he spent nine years as a Legislative Affairs Specialist at the USDA Forest Service’s Washington Office. His career with the Forest Service also includes roles as the Physical Resources Forest Staff Officer for the Pike-San Isabel National Forests & Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands and as a Civil Engineer for the Coronado National Forest.

A graduate of the University of Arizona with a degree in Civil Engineering, Tony enjoys playing tennis. His son, Alec, is an avid snowboarder, and together they look forward to exploring the Sequoia National Forest, Giant Sequoia National Monument, and the many adventures the Southern Sierra has to offer.
