Nick Fisher
Founder of the Work Week for Wildlife, Nick has been a wildlife enthusiast his entire life and specializing in Herpetology. He received his Masters Degree in Wildlife Ecology from Texas State University before he began a his career with Texas Parks and Wildlife working on the Muse Wildlife Management Area in Brownwood, Texas.
The idea for Work Week for Wildlife hit Nick his Junior year at Texas State when he read a paper his genetics professor, Michael Forstner had written about the remaining few Houston toads left that were found only in the Lost Pines region of Bastrop County. As a graduate from Bastrop High School, his passion for reptiles and amphibians led him to the idea to make an impact for the good for the endangered species of the area he knew so well.
Now a Herpetology specialist and non-game biologist for U.S. Fish and Wildlife services, Nick takes these two Summer months out of the year to devote to the habitat enhancement and training others in land management.
"My goal is to encourage others to pay their knowledge and experience forward in order to help out other species in need, now and in the future." -Nick Fisher
