N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary John Skvarla has promoted Michael Ellison to lead the state’s Ecosystem Enhancement Program, a program that compensates for unavoidable environmental damage to streams and wetlands from transportation-infrastructure improvements and other economic development projects.
Ellison has served as the deputy director of operations for the Ecosystem Enhancement Program for the past two years.
“Michael is a great fit to lead an important DENR program,” Skvarla said. “In his two years with EEP, he has demonstrated a great understanding of the program, and brings a wealth of experience in wetland restoration and environmental protection.”
Ellison has more than 25 years of experience in the analysis, restoration and management of disturbed landscapes. As a consultant and contractor, Ellison has also completed more than 250 stream and wetland restoration projects and restored more than 30,000 acres of forest and prairie habitats throughout the United States.
