Jacob Keller, Field Technician

Jacob serves SGI as a Field Technician based out of Clarksville, Tennessee. Jacob grew up in Marshall County, Tennessee, located within the Nashville Basin, where the farmland, the Duck River, the oak-hickory forests, and the cedar glades inspired in him a love for Tennessee’s land, natural history, native plants, and wildlife. He gained his first experience in habitat restoration while with the Natural Resource team of Murfreesboro Parks & Recreation. He graduated from MTSU with a degree in Plant and Soil Science, and during this time began to assist with prescribed burns, having learned its immense benefit to native habitats. Jacob is deeply grateful for this opportunity to be working towards conserving the incredible grasslands of the Southeast.
