As a certified wetlands scientist and professional restoration
ecologist, Bill has managed projects involving wildlife habitat, wetland
restoration, wetlands mapping, and public education. He joined Conway as
adjunct faculty in 1993, teaching classes in wetlands protection and
mitigation, wildlife habitat, and leading field trips to a variety of
ecosystems, including bogs, beaver ponds, old growth forests, vernal
pools, and successional meadows. Bill’s broad applied knowledge of
natural resource issues helps students evaluate environmental assets and
anticipate potential repercussions on residential and community sites.
