ERIC KRUEGER
Director of Science & Stewardship

Eric received a Master’s degree in Geosciences from the University of Wisconsin in 1996, and has eleven years experience in river and wetland analysis and restoration. His thesis topic studies the relationships of groundwater to wetland vegetation patterns. While completing his degree, Eric was employed for two years by the US Forest Service in Michigan analyzing stream habitat quality. After graduation, Eric worked for the Coeur d’Alene Tribe of Idaho as a biologist, and later as the Water Resource Program Manager. Eric also worked three years in for the Idaho Transportation Department implementing wetland mitigation and protection activities. Eric joined the South Carolina Chapter in September, 2002.
As the Director of Science & Stewardship, Eric is working with public and private partners to define and implement ecologically compatible flow regimes on the Santee and Pee Dee Rivers and implement collaborative projects to fill key data needs on these rivers.  Recently completed projects include a bottomland hardwood forest inventory (2003), and a vegetation change analysis in the Santee Delta (2004). Eric’s current projects include hydropower relicensing on the Pee Dee River, surveys for rare aquatic species in the Pee Dee watershed, and  implementing  improved land use practices in the Upper Savannah tributary watersheds.
