Megan Kosterman

I am a Fish and Wildlife biologist and I work primarily on Recovery for the Canada lynx and gray wolf.  I also work on Section 7 Consultations for the Federal Avian Administration and Camp Ripley, and I work on Habitat Conservation Plans and Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances.  In addition to Canada lynx and gray wolf, I am also the species lead for Blanding’s turtle and wood turtle.  Although my work focuses on wildlife, I enjoy building cohesion among staff as a member of the MNWIFO Cohesion team.
