Manage episode 463699065 series 3460193
Peter Hill has been working as a resource manager with a specialty in stream restoration for over two decades, first for Washington DC and then as a consultant for Great Lakes Watershed Opportunities. Currently, he is Senior Policy Advisor for Green Infrastructure at the Environmental Policy Innovation Center in Milwaukee, WI.
His many years of experience in managing major, multi-agency stream and river restoration projects which necessarily needed to include building partnerships to support such multi-faceted ecological restoration efforts. Many of these resource management projects have been located in underserved areas.
With River Profiles: The People Restoring Our Waterways (Columbia UP, 2024), Pete reaches out to both the layperson, as well as the practicing professional. His goal is to build a more comprehensive understanding regarding restoration best practices that can be tapped to meet a community’s desire for a healthy and sustainable riparian environment.
But Pete’s perspective and professional practice goes beyond just understanding different restoration approaches. He is also quite cognizant about the need to build community understanding and support for their local rivers and streams, both in rural and urban settings. To this latter point, he does feel strongly that stream and river restoration can be tied directly to a community’s environmental justice efforts.
Michael Simpson has been actively working, researching and teaching in the watershed management and wetlands fields for 40 years. He is a licensed wetlands scientist where he has conducted numerous delineations, wetland assessments, employing a variety of assessment approaches and data collection procedures, as well as designing wetlands for treatment of non-point source run-off, agricultural liquid wastes and municipal generated waste water.
Currently, his primary research for both US EPA and NOAA has focused upon impact to natural systems and built infrastructure in riparian corridors and estuaries, from changes in land-use on the watershed combined with increases in storm intensity and frequency due to projected climate change.
