Field Station Folx
The Field Station is cared for by a small team of dedicated folks based in and around the southern Lake Michigan area. We each bring unique perspectives and skills to the day-to-day and long-term management of the land and facilities.
Dr. Emily Bretl is the managing director of the Field Station. She oversees research, education, and outreach at the field station, as well as ecological stewardship and day-to-day management of the Field Station. Emily’s specialty lies in interdisciplinary education, programmatic development, ecological stewardship, and community-based learning. She also directs Marram Collaborative, an eco-educational curriculum design and consulting organization.
Dr. Trevor Price is a Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at UChicago. His main research interests are on Himalayan biodiversity, of birds and trees especially, the evolution of color vision in birds, and speciation processes, again largely focusing on birds as a model. He recently published Ecology of a Changed World.
Dennis F oversees the care and maintenance of the physical properties. He knows how to fix just about anything, and if he doesn’t know how to do it himself, he certainly knows who can! Dennis helps keep the driveway clear of snow during long Michigan winters and ensures everyone (and everything) is safe and sound year-round.
Ken Krieger, the owner of One Man and a Tractor, mows our extensive fields and keeps our quarter-mile-long drive graded and tree-limb free. His work is integral to our habitat improvement efforts and land stewardship plans.
The Field Station if funded and operated by the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago. Several faculty have taught classes on-site or supported graduate research at the Field Station.
