• The People at VCE

    VCE conservation biologists scale high peaks, paddle remote ponds, slog through wetlands, visit ordinary backyards, swing insect nets, and traverse the Americas. Field biology does have its benefits.

    Supporting our work is a dedicated office crew and a corps of community naturalists and volunteers. All of us share a passion for wildlife and wild places.

    Interested in having a VCE conservation biologist speak at your event, or lead a field outing? Please fill out our Speaker Request Form to start the process.
