Greg Campbell
Project Biologist

I was born in Campbellton, New Brunswick and grew up in the tiny town of Rexton, N.B. I suppose I first "discovered" wildlife during the time I spent with my parents at our summer cottage. Television was banned during the summer so I spent the days catching minnows in a basket trap, chasing my smaller sister around with a toad in my hand or hatching various unsuccessful schemes to get a closer look at birds, chipmunks or the groundhog that lived underneath the cottage.
I became particularly interested in bird research while pursuing a B.Sc. at L'Université de Moncton. During my studies, I was lucky enough to be able to spend one summer as a nature interpreter in Kouchibouguac National Park. While on a canoe expedition with a group of tourists, an Osprey dived about 20 feet away from us and I was completely hooked (so was the fish in the Osprey's talons). I then spent two summers working for Marc-André Villard on a project measuring the responses of Pileated Woodpeckers and Ovenbirds to timber harvesting.
After a few years working in a different field (aquaculture), I'm glad to be back doing what I enjoy most.
