Chris Colt, Wildlife Biologist

- M.S., University of Nebraska
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- As a wildlife biologist, I study wildlife and how they interact with the ecosystem. I monitor animal populations and habitats, and I organize projects to improve habitat.

Tim Baldwin, Herpetologist

- Ph.D., Alabama A&M University
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- A herpetologist studies reptiles and amphibians. I assess how reptile and amphibian populations respond to forest management and land-use changes.
