Committee on Natural Areas

Maintenance, management, & protection of the University of Illinois-owned research/teaching properties located in Champaign, Vermilion, & McLean counties.

My main research interests are in applied ecology, primarily in the areas of biodiversity, conservation, and restoration of Midwestern natural communities.  Other interests include fire ecology, invasive species ecology, and avian ecology.
