Cathy Higley works for Vilas County Land & Water Conservation as the Lake Conservation Specialist. She works closely with local lake organizations on aquatic invasive species issues, water quality, lake surveying, and the Healthy Lakes program. She has worked for multiple agencies across the nation on stream habitat, wildlife, and ecology research from Wyoming Game and Fish doing native fish inventories to Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission locating wetlands with endangered salamanders and a lot more in between. Cathy earned her Bachelor's degree in Wildlife Management from UW-Stevens Point. Cathy and her husband Jeff call Three Lakes their home and have two children that keep them on their toes. She enjoys hiking, running, backpacking, and improving her skills as a naturalist. But at this point in life, most of her "free" time goes to parenting.
