Sadie Young
Sadie comes to Northern Bedrock as the Project Manager after years of working in Grand Portage, MN as a natural resource assistant, wildland firefighter and crew leader. She has received a B.S. from UMD in environmental science and an M.S. from Bemidji State in environmental chemistry.

Making the move with her is her husband, 2 step daughters and 3 dogs. Sadie hopes to bring her masonry and leadership development experience to Northern Bedrock so she can continue the work with young adults that she is so passionate about. In her free time Sadie enjoys knitting, spending time with her family and climbing firetowers.
