When Jason Taylor steps into his role as superintendent of Indiana Dunes National Park this spring, he will bring with him wide experience working in natural areas and with diverse people.
A group of friends from Chesterton party at Porter Beach in the Indiana Dunes National Park in Porter on Saturday, May 18, 2019. “I’m looking forward to getting on the ground there – hearing, sensing, and all the things you can’t do when you drive through,” he said in a phone interview.His appointment as the park’s superintendent was announced by the National Park Service’s regional office on Friday. The previous superintendent, Paul Labovitz, retired last summer after a nine-year tenure.
Taylor’s only contact with Northwest Indiana so far has been in driving through on his way between Michigan and Chicago. Indiana Dunes National Park, he said, is one of the most biologically diverse national parks, and he was happy to learn that the dunes region played a role in the development of ecological science in the early 20th century.
“That shows me that the partners care a lot,” he said. “I’m really excited to be part of the community, and to see how we can work together.”
