Matthew Kamm, Associate Director of Field Conservation
Matt leads the local field conservation at Zoo New England and is currently focused on devising, planning, supervising, and executing a research project intended to increase our understanding of the dynamics of mammalian predation on juvenile and adult wood turtles. His goal is to devise methods that may decrease the rate of this predation. As a PhD ornithologist (Tufts University), Matt is learning to appreciate reptiles and amphibians just as much as birds.
