Kurt J Jenkins

I am a Scientist Emeritus at the USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center. My research focuses on wildlife ecology, monitoring, and management.

I study mammalian ecology and wildlife-habitat relationships. My personal interests include outdoor activities, my family, reading biographies and history, and traveling.
