Tamara Enz is a project manager and biologist for WEST. After becoming fluent in Japanese, Tamara learned the more challenging language of botanical terms, earning a Master's of Science in plant biology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Working throughout New England, Puerto Rico, and Montana, Tamara conducted community and wetland delineations and habitat suitability studies, coordinated rare plant searches, and participated in numerous research projects ranging from genetics studies to weed control. She has also done extensive bird work, including breeding and migratory bird surveys and point counts, banding, and call playback response surveys in New England, Alaska, Montana, and Canada. Her mammalian experience includes an ice based bowhead whale census in Barrow, Alaska, lynx tracking surveys in Wyoming, and general track surveys in Maine.
After twenty plus years of living almost exclusively in M states (Massachusetts, Maine, and Montana), Tamara is trying the reverse letter, working for WEST in the Walla Walla, Washington office. She cross country skis, pretends to telemark, backpacks, eats, and hangs out with her cats.
