BIO: James Woodworth

James Woodworth is the Natural Resources Supervisor at Stark Parks, where he’s been part of the team since 2005. He started out as a Natural Resources Technician and worked his way up through several roles, always staying hands-on and connected to the land. He earned his A.S. in Parks, Recreation, and Wildlife Management from Zane State College and his B.S. in Biology from Muskingum University.

James has always loved the outdoors - whether it was fishing, working on his family farm, or spending summers volunteering at a youth camp. Now, he enjoys passing that love for nature on to his own kids. When he’s not working, you’ll probably find him wrenching on his Jeep or heading out on an adventure with family and friends.

At Stark Parks, James helps lead habitat restoration projects. In 2024 alone, he and his team planted over 1,600 trees and added more than 50 acres of pollinator habitat across the county.
