Biography
A childhood of hunting, trapping, and fishing fostered a love for the natural world that has lead me to pursue a career in wildlife management. . Jake received his undergraduate wildlife degree from UNH and his M.S. in Wildlife from the University of Vermont, where he oversaw Vermont's recently completed moose research project. He is now the New Hampshire Fish and Game Region 1 Wildlife Biologist located in Lancaster. Jake will be partnering with forestland owners and foresters in the North Country to incorporate wildlife habitat considerations into forest management decisions – a service that Fish and Game has been providing since the 1940s.
