    Kevin Tolan - Staff Biologist

     

    Person pointing in grasslands.

    Hailing from the shores of coastal Maine, Kevin received his M.S. in wildlife biology from The University of Vermont in 2025, his undergrad alma mater. Growing up he was always interested in the nature surrounding him, particularly the reptiles, amphibians, and bugs found in and around his backyard vernal pool, as well as the creatures stranded in tide pools at his local state parks.

    Kevin began at VCE as an ECO Americorps member before becoming a full-time VCE staff member after his service ended. Kevin splits his time between vernal pool and avian research, working closely with local conservation groups and community members to conserve wildlife throughout the state. When not knee-deep in vernal pools or chest-deep in hay fields, Kevin enjoys birding, hiking, rock climbing, and skiing.
