Zinke taps Utah wildlife director to head U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
REFUGES -- Greg Sheehan, director of the Utah Division of Wildlife Service for nearly five years, has been named acting director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke announced today.
Sheehan has more than 25 years of experience with the State of Utah working in wildlife and natural resource management.
Technically he was appointed to a newly created deputy director position, according to an Interior media release. A lifelong hunter and angler, Sheehan will begin managing an agency of 9,000 people at facilities across the country in mid-June and will serve as the acting director until a director is nominated by President Donald Trump and confirmed by the Senate.
