Dan Mummey
Ph.D. Restoration Ecologist
Dan earned his B.A. in microbiology at Eastern Washington University, his M.S. in soil science at Washington State University, and his Ph.D. in soil science and restoration ecology at the University of Wyoming. After graduating in 2004, he worked as an assistant research professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Montana, Missoula. Dan's research focuses on how soil structure, soil organisms and plants determine plant community composition and ecosystem function.

In Dan’s current role at MPG Ranch he develops and implements methods to establish healthy native plant communities in disturbed areas.
