With more than 25 years of professional experience with the Colorado Division of Wildlife, US Forest Service, Pitkin County Government & two major universities, Jonathan’s career has focused on a diverse array of wildlife from bighorn sheep, elk, and songbirds to northern goshawks, flying squirrels, small mammals, and spotted bats. Mr. Lowsky’s experience includes biological assessments and evaluations for NEPA compliance, conservation planning, GIS mapping and modeling, wildlife research, ecological monitoring design and implementation plus wetland and riparian delineations, evaluations, and restoration. He has published scientific papers, authored numerous management plans, conservation easement baselines, and ecological assessments for land use planning. An expert birder, certified wetland delineator, and passionate observer of wildlife, Jonathan has spent countless hours studying and appreciating Colorado’s diverse ecological communities.

 

Jonathan has extensive experience conducting threatened, endangered, and sensitive species surveys; multi-taxa monitoring design and implementation; baseline wildlife surveys; raptor broadcast & nest surveys; MIS selection and surveys; biological assessments and evaluations for NEPA compliance; GIS mapping and modeling; and wetland and riparian delineations and restoration. He has prepared over 60 conservation easement baseline and current condition reports for lands throughout Colorado. He has established a successful reputation in managing and conducting over 200 ecological and conservation consulting projects throughout Colorado.

 

Mr. Lowsky is a certified wildland fire mitigation expert. He has been directly involved in fire mitigation since 1995 when he directed ponderosa pine fuel reduction, thinning, and habitat improvement efforts on the North Kaibab Ranger District of the Kaibab National Forest. Over the course of 26 years as a professional ecologist he has gained intimate knowledge of ecosystem processes in western Colorado that lead to increased fuel loads, over-mature forest and shrublands, and measures that can be taken to reduce the threat and intensity of wildfires.
