Aaron Schab grew up working on the family farm in south central Idaho, raising livestock and a variety of crops while also spending time exploring Idaho’s open country. There he developed his love for being outside, growing things, caring for animals, and living on the land in the most sustainable and regenerative ways possible. Aaron first moved to Moscow in 1994 to attend the University of Idaho and returned from brief stints in Seattle and Boise to start a new life on the Palouse in 2008. Aaron is a longtime supporter of PCEI’s mission, but first became directly involved when his three children attended field trips at the PCEI Nature Center and joined volunteer opportunities (stream cleanups and trail builds). Aaron is a senior instructor in the University of Idaho English Department who spends his spare time tending to the backyard chickens and compost pile, growing fruit and veggies, and enjoying music and good food with family and friends.
