What’s your favorite thing about working for the Service?
Finishing on-the-ground habitat restoration projects and seeing the fish and wildlife come back.

What’s your favorite species and why?

Right now, Eastern brook trout because they are the canary in the coal mine as far as ecological health of a stream. If we can get the project to support brook trout, we’ve got a good shot at supporting everybody else who depends on the stream system.
