MEET OUR TEAM

The Station is operated by a small team of staff and a volunteer Board of Directors.

Our Staff

Our year-round team consists of our Station Manager, who lives on-site, and our part-time Communications Manager. During the field season, we welcome additional seasonal staff: our Assistant Manager, Head Cook, and Assistant Cook.

Our operations are overseen by a volunteer Board of Directors, a group of professionals with a deep passion for the work that we do.
