Kyle studies the intersection of forests, wildlife, and climate change in and beyond Acadia National Park, with a focus on turning science into actionable management decisions. A central part of his work explores how citizen science can inform natural resource management, and he communicates science through stories, reports, and peer-reviewed articles. He also works closely with seasonal science staff helping to mentor early-career scientists.
Kyle has been involved with Schoodic Institute since high school when he volunteered on phenology projects after school and participated in bioblitzes in the park. Prior to his current position, he received a degree in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Maine and spent 7 years conducting fieldwork in Maine, Idaho, South Africa, and Eswatini. When not working, you can find Kyle bird watching, hiking, running, skiing, gardening, or woodworking.
