The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is pleased to announce the hiring of Peter Levi as the Wisconsin chapter’s new Director of Conservation Science.
Levi comes to TNC from his previous role as the Associate Director of the Mary Griggs Burke Center for Freshwater Innovation at Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin. He received a B.A. in Biology from Lawrence University and holds a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from the University of Notre Dame. Levi spent the past decade working to protect and restore freshwater ecosystems in academic positions in Wisconsin and Iowa, as well as abroad in Indonesia, Uganda, and elsewhere. His research often combines measures of ecosystem health with human dimensions, such as patterns in land use or public health.

Levi comes to TNC with a strong understanding of the interconnections between land and water.
