ED WILSON, COLUMBIA

WHY - I enjoy being on the board because of the diversity of groups it brings together for a mission of improving/sustaining the natural heritage of the state. I have found that groups that can cooperate, among various stakeholders,  develop very sound, workable, and powerful solutions to sustain the great natural resources of South Carolina.

BIO - Originally from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, I grew up with steel mills, Steeler football and the annual thanksgiving trek north for opening day of deer season. The love of the outdoors began at that deer camp in Potter County Pennsylvania, otherwise known as “God’s Country”.  Those mountains and trout streams led to Forestry Degrees from West Virginia University and Virginia Tech (Ph.D., Forestry Operations). I moved to SC in 1990.
