Miles Thompson is an experienced ecologist who has spent over 17 years working on biology, conservation and land management projects. His main focus is on the overall ecological function of native communities and educating individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations about the importance of preserving and restoring native ecosystems. Miles holds a B.S in Fisheries from Kansas State University and a M.S. in Aquaculture and Fisheries from the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff. He has planned and managed restoration and habitat projects across Wisconsin, including oak savanna and prairie reconstruction, wildlife habitat planning and management, cropland conversion, forest stand improvement, invasive species control, bluff stabilization, rainwater management and bioswale systems.

In his spare time, Miles volunteers his expertise to conservation organizations like the Wisconsin Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and the Lakeshore Chapter of Trout Unlimited, two groups with which he is deeply involved in. He also likes the challenges of hunting and fly fishing in the wild and undeveloped backcountry, where he can escape the pace of modern life and immerse himself in the rhythms and solitude of nature.
