Sara Harrod, PhD

I am a Wildlife Biologist with the U.S. Forest Service in southwestern Montana. I prepare Biological Assessments for Section 7 consultation, write and critically review technical NEPA documents, and conduct field monitoring for threatened, endangered, and sensitive species. Before that, I was a Natural Resources Specialist with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at John Martin Reservoir. I led the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) and Interior Least Tern (Sterna antillarum athalassos) Monitoring Program while serving as the Project's Public Outreach Coordinator and the Albuquerque District's Water Safety Vice-chairperson.

I have a diverse background that includes several seasons of fieldwork, experience teaching in academia, and conducting high-level project planning. I plan to use what I've learned to protect our natural resources for current and future generations, educate others about wildlife and conservation issues, and make a positive impact on our environment. I'd also like to travel the world, explore new cultures, and get in some birdwatching.
