Bob Krumenaker writes: “After 41+ official years as a ranger, biologist, manager of natural resource programs, and park superintendent, I retired from the National Park Service on July 15, 2023. It’s actually 46 years since I first started with the NPS as a volunteer, taking off the second semester of my sophomore year at Brown. I am now living in Carlsbad, New Mexico, where my partner is the superintendent of Carlsbad Caverns National Park. While my principal goal for a while is spending time woodworking and doing home improvement, I remain involved in conservation and land management, most notably with keepbigbendwild.org. This is the effort to revive the long-dormant and very important goal of seeing Congressional designation of wilderness for the undeveloped areas of Big Bend National Park. Keep Big Bend Wild recently received the NPS national award for wilderness stewardship by a non-NPS partner organization. I am also (selectively) available and interested in consulting or contract work where my experience and expertise can make a difference in land management or conservation.”
