KLARA HENRY

Klara Henry works as an environmental and land use attorney in Madison, with a focus on water law and environmental remediation issues. She grew up in Chicago, but lived in Boston and Austin for many years before moving to Madison in 2024, and has loved exploring the different natural landscapes (and birds!) of each of the places she’s lived. She is passionate about environmental justice and lawmaking that protects natural resources, for the benefit of both wildlife and human beings. Klara and her husband have combined a goal of visiting every US National Park with adding new bird species to their life list—most recently, they spotted an American Dipper in Glacier National Park. Klara is also an avid watercolor artist, Dane County Humane Society volunteer, and teaches yoga in her spare time.

Prior to that, he worked for the River Alliance of Wisconsin for ten years. Matt lives in Madison with his wife, daughter, and dog.
