Matt Singerwas raised in a rural community in central Texas, acquiring a love and understanding for nature at an early age. As an avid hunter and fisherman, Matt has a great respect for fish and wildlife and the habitats that support them. Acting on passion for the outdoors, he attended Texas A&M where he earned a B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences in 2005. Matt was a biologist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission where he worked with high profile endangered species and helped landowners develop wildlife management plans for over four years. Many of these plans involved quail management and prairie restoration. Matt currently serves as conservation lands manager for the Galveston Bay Foundation focusing on habitat restoration and land conservation. He is drawn to prairies as a biologist because of the level of wildlife and plant diversity found in prairie communities. He enjoys the challenge of native habitat restoration and hopes to be engaged in several coastal prairie projects in the near future. Matt hopes to help bring back destroyed native prairies, protect native remnants and bring energy and new ideas to the board with a coastal prairie perspective.
