Cathy Raley, Wildlife Biologist

- M.S., University of Wyoming
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- As a wildlife biologist, I study birds and mammals in forest ecosystems. I study these animals to understand how they interact with their environment, as well as what these animals need to survive.

Dede Olson, Research Ecologist

- Oregon State University
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- I study potential threats to animal populations, especially amphibians and reptiles, including disease and habitat alteration from forest management. I also study general ecology such as species distributions, habitat associations, movements, and breeding.

Bruce G. Marcot, Research Wildlife Ecologist

- Ph.D., Oregon State University Corvallis OR
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- I study the reasons why plant and animal species are rare, why some are at risk, and how threatened or endangered species and ecosystem functions can be conserved and restored.
