Key Personnel
Mike Healy is the Principal Ecologist of Adaptive Restoration LLC. As Adaptive’s lead ecologist, Mike plans and implements our restoration projects, from prescribed burns to native plant establishment. Additionally, he conducts native plant surveys, ecological assessments and wetland delineations. Prior to moving to Wisconsin, Mike served for five years as the Naturalist for the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority (NVRPA), where he helped manage a 67-acre park and planned and presented educational programs for over 10,000 visitors each year.
Mike holds a B.S. in Environmental Science and Biology from Dickinson College, and an M.S. in Environment and Resources from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has several years of prescribed fire experience and training, including successful completion of The Nature Conservancy’s Crew Boss Academy. He is a member of the Aldo Leopold Foundation, the Prairie Enthusiasts, the Invasive Plant Association of Wisconsin, the Society for Ecological Restoration, and the Wisconsin Prescribed Fire Council.
Anna Healy is the Director of Operations and majority owner of Adaptive Restoration. Anna holds an M.S. in Forestry from the University of Montana and a B.S. in Environmental Science from University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Wisconsin’s flagship university for Environmental Science. Anna is an ISA certified arborist and a skilled environmental educator.
Anna brings several years of experience building partnerships within federal and state government. She directed invasive pest survey teams for the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, and she managed sites and planned and conducted interpretive programs for the National Park Service in Washington, DC. Anna is fluent in Spanish, and as a former Peace Corps volunteer in Paraguay, she wrote and published a book describing how to use school gardens as a teaching tool.
While with the National Park Service, Anna served as an educator for the Bridging the Watershed program, where she helped develop a curriculum for watershed education within the Potomac River basin, using National Parks as an outdoor learning laboratory for students.
