Bryan received a B.A. from UW-Madison in 2002,
where he double-majored in Botany and Biological Aspects of
Conservation (BAC) along with a certificate in Environmental Studies
from the Nelson Institute at UW-Madison.
Bryan was then a research associate for 2 years at The International Crane Foundation
(ICF) in Baraboo, WI. There he performed vegetative sampling of 10
restored prairies planted in 10 consecutive years. His work contributed to a 10
year Long-Term-Ecological-Research project titled "Time as an
Ecological Factor in the Development of Restored Prairies in
Wisconsin." At the same time Bryan worked for several private
landowners and ICF removing invasive species from natural areas and
restorations.
In early 2004, Bryan completed training in prescribed burning at The Woodland School in Baraboo, WI.
In March of 2004, Bryan formed ERS,
to provide clients with natural areas management and restoration services in
southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. He worked on many projects: harvesting 3.75 million tree seedling for WDNR at the Hayward Tree Nursery
with a crew of 12 for 2 weeks, conducting floristic quality analysis in
remnant prairies and oak savannas and restoring natural areas through
invasive species removal, prescribed fire and hand-seeding or planting.
In January 2006, Bryan Huberty featured in Midwest Woodlands and Prairies 'Nature's Future Stewards ' issue.
Bryan was hired by the Rock River Coalition (RRC), a local
non-profit, in January 2005 as Wetland Volunteer Monitoring Coordinator. He led
a group of citizen scientists who monitored amphibians, birds,
invertebrates, mammals, plants and water quality at a 1,700 acre muck
farm in Lake Mills that is being restored to a tamarack swamp and
shallow ponds for shorebirds and waterfowl. The group also monitored
2,000 acres of restored and remnant wetlands in Jefferson. In October 2006, Bryan was given an award from WI DNR for
'Outstanding Achievement in Citizen-based Monitoring' for his work with
the Rock River Coalition at Zeloski Marsh in Lake Mills. Click on Biological Monitoring
to learn more about this project, citizen science and wetland
monitoring. Bryan Huberty resigned from his work with the Rock River
Coalition in September 2006 to focus on ERS full time.
In February 2009, Bryan was certified as a Commercial Pesticide Applicator in Right-of-Ways by WI Dept. of Consumer Protection. And in May 2009, Bryan completed a 2-credit course in Forest Fire Behavior and Management at UW-Madison. He also attends university seminars on adaptive restoration and wetland ecology.
When not restoring landscapes, Bryan enjoys running marathons, studying nutrition and gardening.
