The Acadia Wildlife Museum has over 50,000 specimens from Mi'kma'ki, Turtle Island and beyond. When Jen is not teaching in labs or in the classroom, she cares for the collection, trains students, and runs outreach programming.

There are all sorts of treasures to discover in the collection, such as these bird displays that date to the mid 1800’s. They sometimes need some TLC, so learning about how this work was done in the past and how to safely care for them in the present is also part of Jen’s job.
