Jerrad Jankowski – Fish Passage Technician

Jerrad is one of our Fish Passage Technicians here at Friends of the Rouge and joined in June of 2024. With the opening of the fish passage at the Henry Ford Estate dam, he is excited to monitor the health of the Rouge’s road stream crossings and see just how far upstream the Rouge’s fish will get!

Jerrad has been an avid volunteer for FOTR joining our Frog and Toad surveys in 2016 as well as a valued member of the Fish Survey team since 2017.

He holds a Bachelors of Science and Art from Oakland University and spends his free time in the outdoors fishing, hiking, and kayaking.
