Idaho’s two national monuments will soon be under new leadership.

The National Park Service has named Wendy Janssen as superintendent for the Hagerman Fossil Beds and Minidoka Internment National Monuments, both in southern Idaho.

Janssen is a 19-year veteran of the park service and she replaces Neil King, who retired earlier this year. She will begin her duties in August.

In her previous post, Janssen served as chief of interpretation and education at Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in California and worked as acting superintendent at Cabrillo National Monument. Her resume also includes posts at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, Whiskeytown National Recreation Area and the Harper’s Ferry Center in West Virginia. (AP)
