Jamie Hubert, Cave Conservation Volunteer and National Parks Leader

Jamie Hubert is a St. Francois State Park Naturalist who loves bats and history.

Jamie wrote a proposal in 2005 to help fund a project to interpret the Civil War for the Missouri State Museum which received the NAI Region VI Small Grants Program award at the National Association of Interpretation (NAI) Region VI workshop in Fort Smith, Ark.

That year she was also honored with a resolution from the Missouri House of Representatives for her exemplary work during Capitol tours.

In fact, Jamie leads a lot of hikes and tours. She lead the St. Francois State Park 50th anniversary hike and several hikes for the Missouri Histological Association Spring 2008 herpetological survey, which
yeilded more than 543 individual reptiles and amphibians, representing a total of 32 species and six new county records:
Marbled Salamander, Cope's Gray Treefrog, Broad-headed Skink, Northern Rough Greensnake, Rough Earthsnake, and the Ornate Box Turtle.

Besides this, Jamie volunteers with conservation group, Missouri Bat Census, where she monitors bats for WNS and assists in cave surveys. "She's an amazing single mom, bat enthusiast, Missouri State Park naturalist, and Cubs Scout leader." said Kristen Alvey-Mudd of Missouri Bat Census.

Nice work Jamie! Thank you for being an extraordinary supporter of cave conservation, education, and exploration!
