Jeff Kozlowski is a staff fishery biologist with special experience in the management and restoration of reservoir fishery habitat. Prior to joining Jones & Stokes Associates, he designed,coordinated,and implemented fishery habitat improvement projects for the County of Monterey; and conducted channel analysis, habitat typing, and snorkel surveys in Central Sierra Nevada streams for the U.S. Forest Service. For Jones & Stokes Associates, he has performed intensive field surveys of fish populations in the lower San Joaquin and Kings Rivers and assisted with laboratory research on both stream velocity preference and respiration rates of rainbow trout for Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Mr. Kozlowski is an Associate Certified Fisheries Scientist with the American Fisheries Society and is a SCUBA diver certified by the YMCA. He received a B.S. in natural resources management with an emphasis in fisheries management from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California, in 1986. Frederica Bowcutt is a botanist with experience in the design, implementation, monitoring, and management of habitat restoration projects. She has joined the natural resource management group at Jones & Stokes Associates and is evaluating the feasibility of restoring the Stone Lakes Wildlife Refuge in southern Sacramento County proposed by the USFWS. Ms. Bowcutt was formerly employed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation as a resource ecologist,where she was involved for 5 years in habitat restoration, land use planning, natural resource assessment and management, and public involvement planning. As a project manager, she restored habitat for valley oak riparian woodland, Jeffrey pine forest, coastal scrub, and endangered plant species. The restoration projects occurred in the Sacramento River Delta and Tahoe Basin, and on the Mendocino and San Diego County coasts. Ms.Bowcutt also coordinated the efforts of scientists involved in land use planning within parks on the Mendocino County coast. In a cooperative effort with the University of California,Berkeley,Ms.Bowcutt led a botanizing and llama trekking research expedition to document the flora of Sinkyone Wilderness State Park on the Lost Coast of northern Mendocino County. She also lectured University of California, Berkeley, undergraduate students on environmental problem solving in parklands. Prior to state parks, Ms. Bowcutt was employed for 5 years as a botanist in private industry and environmental consulting firms. Ms. Bowcutt received an M.S. in botany from the University of California, Davis, in 1989, and a B.A. in botany from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1981. Pete Rawlings is a wildlife biologist with more than 10 years experience in wildlife management and related fields. He has designed, implemented, and completed a 5-year investigation to assess the ecological condition of Nevada's Humboldt River drainage and to identify the relationships between land use practices and the diversity of wildlife and plant communities on that river system. Mr. Rawlings was responsible for implementing the first reintroduction of peregrine falcons into Nevada and developed criteria for designating potential peregrine falcon release sites in that state. He has also conducted an extensive investigation of the Lower Colorado River Valley Population of greater sandhill cranes, refined the understanding of that population's distribution, status, and size, and, as a result of his research, revised the Parc Flyway Management Plan for the population.
