Mr. Gillilan has been engaged in the aquatic and land restoration sciences since 1984

and professionally consulting in the field for 20 years. For the last 7 years he has also

been active with private individuals and equity groups finding and assessing properties

for conservation, recreation and investment purposes. His comprehensive knowledge

of wildland, farm, ranch, river and stream landscapes reflects exposure to projects on

premier land holdings across the US with an emphasis on the Intermountain West. To

augment his land acquisition expertise he gained his Montana real estate associate

license held under Bramlette & Company.

He is the author of numerous papers on natural channel design and restoration,

international river restoration standards, and floodplain management. He has

experience with every facet of surface hydrology and flood hazard analysis, water

rights, salmonid fishery enhancements, wetland design and construction, and land

reclamation. A principal focus is in spring creek environments. He seeks solutions that

integrate optimized land management strategies with principals of conservation

investment, ecosystem service markets, wildlife habitat creation, fluvial

geomorphology, ecologic and social integrity, and quality engineering practice. He has

managed millions of dollars of design-build river restoration and ranch improvement

projects.

Other current interests include identification of additional market driven mechanisms

to add value to landscapes that are undervalued, degraded or ecologically important by

harnessing emerging markets in renewable energy, ecotourism, cultural revitalization,

sustainable building systems, limited development and new models for private equity

driven conservation.
