Two individuals with extensive experience in federal service, resource protection and administration have been selected to serve as Deputy Superintendents of Yellowstone National Park.

Colin Campbell currently serves as the Superintendent of Padre Island National Seashore in Texas. He began his National Park Service (NPS) career twenty-seven years ago in Yosemite National Park. Campbell is no stranger to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, having spent twelve years in Grand Teton National Park as a Law Enforcement Specialist, Chief Ranger, and as Acting Deputy Superintendent.

Christine Lehnertz comes to the NPS from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), where she is the Director of the Ecosystems Protection Program in Denver. Lehnertz began her environmental career as a seasonal biologist in 1985 with the Colorado Division of Wildlife. She also worked seasonally for the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Lehnertz joined the EPA in 1990.

Campbell and Lehnertz will fill expanded roles based on the duties of former Deputy Superintendent Frank Walker, who retired this past summer. Superintendent Suzanne Lewis believes this change will enhance the park’s abilities to address the needs of employees, visitors, and park resources.
