Greg Aplet joined the staff of The Wilderness Society's Ecology and Economics Research Department as forest ecologist in December 1991. He has been part of the Society's reviews of federal land management planning initiatives throughout the country, including conservation plans for the northern spotted owl, the Sierra Nevada Ecosystem Project, and the National Fire Plan. Most of Greg's work has focused on ecosystem management and the conservation of biological diversity and forest ecosystem health, including co-editing Defining Sustainable Forestry (Island Press 1993) and co-authoring Salvage Logging in the National Forests: An Ecological, Economic, and Legal Assessment (The Wilderness Society 1996) and "Wilderness Ecosystems" in the recently revised 3rd edition of Wilderness Management (Fulcrum Press 2002). Greg's background includes a B.S. in Forestry (1981) and an M.S. in Wildland Resource Science (1983) from the University of California, Berkeley and a Ph.D. in Forest Ecology (1987) from Colorado State University. His research includes studies of the dynamics of Rocky Mountain and Hawaiian forests, the ecology of biological invasions, and the conservation of biological diversity.
