matt@cbfieldstation.org | 757-824-5636 x105
Matt grew up in a small Maine fishing community, spending as much time as possible on or around the ocean. As an undergraduate he studied Wildlife Care and Education and Adventure Therapy, and then later as a graduate student he focused on Nonprofit Management, soon followed by a M.S in Natural Resources with a concentration in Residential Environmental Education and Interpretation. An avid sailor he managed a residential marine science program based upon a traditionally rigged tall ship, and has also worked with various camps and long term residential programs before coming to the Field Station.
Matt is very passionate about working with wildlife and has worked with many species at various wildlife rehabilitation and environmental education centers. He enjoys spending much of his free time around the water either sailing or canoeing, but also spends his time hiking, back country camping, kayaking, and constantly trying to improve his skills in nature photography.

Mike Hillman - Adult & Family Education Coordinator
mike@cbfieldstation.org | 757-824-5636 x106
Growing up in Michigan, where you are never more than 6 miles from a lake, Mike is very at home by the water. He spends most of his time outdoors either hiking, birding, kayaking, backpacking, camping, snorkeling, or scuba diving. Mike has a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from Michigan State University with coursework across the fields of biology, ecology, and environmental science. It was during this time in college that he found his two favorite passions; wildlife watching and educating others about the natural world. From then on, he has focused his career on sharing his enthusiasm for science and nature with his audiences. He has worked for multiple zoological institutions including Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the John G. Shedd Aquarium, and most recently the Fort Worth Zoo. Mike has traveled to numerous state and national parks, the rainforests of Costa Rica, and the coral reefs of the Bahamas. While his favorite species to find are birds, any “new-to-him” creature is sure to ignite his excitement.
