Editor: Mrill Ingram

Preparing her for a new role as editor of Ecological Restoration Mrill brings experience in research into human-environment relationships, in creating outreach and educational materials around environmental issues and also familiarity with the nitty-gritty of magazine production. For the last five years she has worked at the Environmental Resources Center at UW-Madison. Her projects there include a study of the use of urban Integrated Pest Management by professional landscapers, and an analysis of how different agricultural policies influence farmers in their perceptions and management of their natural environment. Before that she produced an environmental science and education ideabook for the Bottle Biology project at UW-Madison, and also worked as project coordinator at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson. For her dissertation work in geography she researched the origin and circulation of different ideas about soil fertility that are central to organic farming and other alternative farming practices. Her master's thesis research focused on the ethnobotany of two species of agave plant in central highland Ecuador, and the intricate web of cultural and economic relationships binding together the plants, the people and the land. The central focus of Mrill's research and educational efforts has been to contribute to a better understanding of how cultural attitudes, policies, technologies and other ways of knowing shape human-nature relationships.

Associate Editor: Chris Reyes

Beginning with the Youth Conservation Corps in 1987, Chris has had a long career in the natural resources field. Four years at Reed College culminating in a B.A. in biology were followed by a summer on the revegetation crew of Olympic National Park. After two years in Peace Corps promoting agroforestry with native tree species in the Republic of Panama and four years on a hotshot crew participating in wildfire suppression and prescribed burning, Chris returned to Wisconsin to pursue a M.S. in Land Resources, with an emphasis on fire management, ecological restoration, and invasive species control. Upon graduation, Chris began working for private restoration companies and joined Ecological Restoration as editorial assistant in 2006. Chris is currently a member of the Society for Ecological Restoration, the Invasive Plants Association of Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin Mycological Society. When not on the lookout for morels and other tasty items, collecting specimens to document new invasive species populations, or attending more fire and burn training, Chris is dreaming about archery biathlons.
