About William G. Coleman

Thought leader, entrepreneur, educator supporting natural resource management, ecosystem restoration, property ecological asset development & management as well as environmental quality concerns for landowners, business and industry, city & county governments, regulatory agencies and others.The personal mission nowadays is to increase understanding of the real-dollar value of ecological assets, specifically compensatory mitigation credits.This follows forty years\'​ experience in the U.S, Canada and parts of Europe supporting energy, timber, mining industries in matters of environmental problem solving, resource & risk management, planning & policy compliance, as well as eco-asset development, valuation and sales.Current goal? I\'m an advocate for landscape scale compensatory mitigation banking to protect and restore ecosystem services, expand the ecological economy and build out the market for ecological assets. Plus, ok, I confess to being an unabashed friend of the trees. And the bears (especially polar bears). the wolves. salmon. stellar jays. orchids.wild roses.Hobbies (aka obsessions) include genealogy, planet earth & human history, beach combing and forest walking.
