With a bachelor’s degree in natural resources from UW-Stevens Point and as a long-time climate activist, Trevor Roark has volunteered & advocated with 1000 Friends on and off for over 10 years. His most recent experience as a student of the Community Transportation Academy in Stevens Point (fall 2023) solidified his understanding of how critical 1000 Friends’ work is for Wisconsin communities’ sustainability, equity, & resilience.

Trevor built skillsets through various positions over the last 20 years – from seasonal Fisheries/Hydrology positions with the USFS (Hiawatha, Chequamegon/Nicolet, & Tongass National Forests), to performing/managing the band Green Tea, to 6 years in the WI Army National Guard, to working for United Way of Portage County, and running the UWSP Adventure Tours program. Most recently, he founded the bicycle-powered delivery service curbwise LLC, delivering everything from groceries to Xmas trees throughout Central WI. Trevor has also founded, participated in, or led volunteer efforts including the Stevens Point Skate Park Committee, 1000 Friends of Wisconsin, 350 Stevens Point, Stevens Point’s Bicycle & Pedestrian Street Safety Commission, local Bike Rodeos & Walking School Bus, SS4A Task Force, Zoned Out campaign, and the Climate Action Collective. Yet, he’s no stranger to grant writing too; co-authoring successful Transportation Alternative Program, Safe Streets & Roads for All, Community Foundation of Central WI, and United Way of Portage County grants. 

In Trevor’s free time, he loves exploring City parks & WI State Parks with his wife and kiddos, riding bikes daily, playing soccer, hanging with friends, shopping at the farmers’ market, and gardening.
