Thomas W. French, Ph.D. (Tom)

I retired in 2019 after 35 years administering MassWildlife's Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program. My taxonomic interests are diverse, but I have been particularly focused on Massachusetts mammals, especially insectivores and marine mammals, herps, raptors, terrestrial snails, and micro-marine shells. I am currently working with two others to confirm the Massachusetts distributions of mammals.
