Jenny Shrum - Island Marble Butterfly Program Director
|
Jenny has been a biologist, and professional stalker of wild critters for over two decades. She came to San Juan Island to work for the National Park Service seven year ago. During that time, she has had the unique fortune to follow (sometimes chase!) the island marble butterfly in both natural and laboratory settings. In the process she has learned as much about pollinators as she has about herself. She is currently working as a contractor with the US Fish&Wildlife Service to boost survival rates, and improve habitat quality so that the species can persist for decades to come. jenny(at)onsacredgroundlandtrust.org |
