      President

      Our goal is to renew an ecosystem approach in applied field ecology as opposed to single species approach. Our priorities are to mentor biologists and technicians in this method and continue to provide expert advice, stewardship, outreach and educational opportunities when they arise. We are also focusing on research and development of biological tools for field applications.
