Vona Kuczynska

As a Fish and Wildlife Biologist, I complete section 7 Endangered Species Act consultations and work with federal agencies to assess and minimize impacts of proposed projects on threatened and endangered species. I also serve as the National Recovery Coordinator for cave and karst dependent Gray Bat and Grotto Sculpin. While I work with a variety of above and belowground wildlife, my primary interest lies in the field of bat ecology. I conduct a wide variety of bat surveys and research projects that promote bat conservation and help inform natural resource management decisions in Missouri.
