Casey FARMER for

East Bay Regional Parks

Meet Casey

Casey has dedicated her career to the public sector, starting as a special education teacher in Oakland Unified, working for multiple elected officials including Oakland Councilmember Lynette Gibson McElhaney and State Senator Nancy Skinner, and leading Alameda County's 2020 Census effort. She currently works as a consultant for various local government and nonprofit projects. She led her high school and college environmental activism clubs and is currently battling Shell Oil to clean up a polluted site in her neighborhood. She is an avid hiker of trails all over the Park District and the mom of twin toddlers who love exploring EBRPD parks. 

As Board Director, Casey will work to enhance equity and access to our incredible parks, especially for youth to benefit from the environmental science opportunities and to support their mental health and physical wellbeing. Casey will also champion our vital workforce, the important climate resilience work the District is doing, and ensure strong wildfire protection.

My Passion Is For Parks.

“I saw the power of the outdoors through the lens of these girls: they developed confidence, they learned ways to care for their mental health, they learned survival skills, and they got to explore the many benefits of spending time in nature.”

— Casey Farmer
