Rob Rich
Rob is a field ecologist and certified wildlife track & sign specialist who provides inventory, research, and training services to document and protect biodiversity. Since 2007 he's worked on wildlife monitoring projects that support the needs of birds, beavers, and carnivores, and he's taught curious learners from colleges, public agencies, conservation nonprofits, and more.
He helps teach our Wildlife Tracks & Sign and Master Naturalist courses, as well as parts of our Wildlife in the West college field program.
Say, “Good dog” to Our Assistants
While the work is fulfilling, nonprofit life can also be messy, non-stop, and exhausting.
We all wear a lot of hats, work long days and odd hours, and we wouldn’t survive without our assistants (and full-time therapists) by our sides. So, we figured it was time they got the recognition they each more-than-deserve.
