Speakers
John Giordanengo, MS
Principal/Owner, Economic Restoration Services and Founder, Economic Restoration InstituteMr. Giordanengo’s drive to improve the science and practice of ecological restoration grows out of a passion for conserving natural resources. Since 1996 he has provided a broad range of services to local, state, and federal agencies, as well as private clients to restore riparian, wetland, and upland habitats from the peaks to the prairies. With 32 years of experience, and over 250 restoration-related projects completed, his knowledge spans the Western US, with experience in Ecuador, Mexico, El Salvador, and elsewhere. This includes dozens of stream and riparian restoration projects, wildfire hazard mitigation and restoration, wetland and pond restoration, and a wide range of upland restoration and erosion control projects. In the process, he has amassed a lexicon necessary for ecologists, architects, and engineers to co-design and implement highly complex restoration projects. Mr. Giordanengo’s experience includes watershed, river, and ecological health assessments, restoration design, permitting and regulatory compliance, seed mixes and plant palettes, bioengineering, erosion control, and restoration curricula development. He enjoys managing complex stakeholder engagement processes across public, private, and non-profit constituents in support of watershed and regional planning efforts. In 2016, he led a team of over 30 federal, state, and local entities to develop Living Streambanks, a Manual to Bioengineering Treatments for Colorado Streams for the Colorado Water Conservation Board. For ten years Mr. Giordanengo has been developing a design system for restoration hydroseres (establishment zones) within riparian and wetland systems, and he continues to refine a revegetation matrix for Colorado that enhances the ability to deliver the highest quality revegetation designs. His experience in ecological, conservation, business, and economics has recently been wrapped into Ecosystems as Models for Restoring our Economies (To a Sustainable State), 2nd Edition. This book follows systems thinking approaches to apply ecological restoration processes to our economies.
Devani Jolman
Scientist/Ph.D. candidate - Old Dominion University, in Norfolk, VAMs. Jolman is a 3rd year Ecological Sciences PhD Candidate at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. Her research focuses on understanding the ecological consequences of natural plant hybridization (crossing of two species) by studying wild hybrid blueberries across Virginia. Ms. Jolman research relies on the classification of plants to identify hybrids and their parent species; she uses genetics, plant traits, and pollinator interactions to explore the impact of hybrid plants. With the presence of hybrid plants increasing due to climate change, this work is increasingly relevant for conservation, management, and restoration purposes. In 2018, Ms. Jolman received a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Calvin University in Michigan; her undergraduate research worked to inventory the flora of West Michigan, relying heavily on plant identification in the field. During this time, Ms. Jolman also worked at a local Michigan Nature Center to develop educational programs for the county park. After graduation, She spent three years in Vermont as a Park Interpreter and Park Manager for Vermont State Parks, planning and facilitating ecological park programs for a diverse array of park patrons while managing park operations. Along with pursuing her PhD in Virginia, Ms. Jolman currently works with numerous organizations (Norfolk Botanical Gardens, schools, retirement groups, Master Naturalists, local non-profits, Botanical Society of America’s Planting Science, etc.) to provide plant-focused educational programs to the public. She believes strongly in the equitable communication of science and strives to continually bridge the gap between academic research and the public through education.
Tristram G. Seidler, Ph.D.
Extension Assistant Professor of Biology with the University of Massachusetts AmherstMr. Seidler was trained in plant ecology at the University of California Santa Cruz, and obtained his PhD at Harvard University, where he studied the spatial distribution of tropical trees in the ultra-diverse rainforest of Malaysia. He continued with a post-doc at Imperial College of London’s Centre for Population Biology, where he studied invasive plants in the herbaceous community of Argentina’s flooding pampas. After returning to the US, he took a job with Native Plant Trust, a not-for-profit organization that monitors rare plants in New England, among other activities. While there, he ran the Royal Kew Garden’s Millennium Seed Bank’s Northeast US seed banking program, and built a seed bank for the seeds of rare and endangered plants for Native Plant Trust. In 2013 he took a faculty position at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he is Curator of the University of Massachusetts Herbarium, a medium-sized herbarium of 250,000 specimens, and teaches courses in botany and ecology.

Bill Simpson, P.E.
Geotechnical Structure Design Specialist at Gradelta EngineeringMr. Simpson founded Gradelta Engineering in 2020 with the intent to help clients better understand the combination of geotechnical and structural engineering that he has worked with for the past 20 years. He earned his B.S.C.E. and M.S.C.E. degrees from Georgia Institute of Technology. He currently provides engineering services to contractors and fellow engineers for earth structure pricing, along with the plans and calculations needed for construction. He frequently consults with clients regarding the optimal structure type and location on the construction site to minimize risk and maximize useable space. He also works in the education sector providing not just seminars such as this one, but also acting as a subject matter expert creating study guide and test prep content for the NCEES Professional Civil Engineer exam. Mr. Simpson has also worked with lawyers and insurance companies during forensic investigation and lawsuits surrounding retaining walls and slope failures. His hope is that through the instructional services that he currently provides, slopes will remain stable and retaining wall failure will be eliminated.
