The Point Reyes National Seashore has a new superintendent.
Come January, Craig Kenkel, who grew up on a farm in Iowa and has spent his career working for the National Park Service, will take up the reins. Mr. Kenkel currently serves as the superintendent of Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio, one of a small handful of units in the country where the park leases land for farming.
The transition comes after Cicely Muldoon, who has filled the post for the past decade, accepted a permanent position at Yosemite National Park last month, after filling in there since January. The seashore has had a string of acting superintendents in recent years as Ms. Muldoon took up temporary leadership roles in Yosemite and elsewhere.
