Keynote Speakers
| Reception Keynote (Thursday): Kim Delozier In Kim DeLozier's world, when sedated wild black bears wake up unexpectedly in the back seat of a helicopter in mid-flight, or in his car as he's driving down the highway, or in his office while he's talking on the phone, it's just another day in the park. During his 32 year career at Great Smoky Mountains National Park, he focused primarily on nuisance black bear management, wild hog control, white-tailed deer management, small animal management (skunks, raccoons, bats), and re-introduction efforts for elk, peregrine falcons, river otters, and red wolves. He is the author of two books, Bear in the Backseat I and II, memoirs of his time as a park ranger. |
