Summary
Greg Forcey is a Senior Principal Scientist and Project Manager with over a decade of experience helping energy developers minimize wildlife impacts across wind, solar, and transmission projects. He combines rigorous field ecology and a PhD-level research background with advanced GIS, R, and Python-based big-data statistical modeling to produce actionable, landscape-scale solutions for birds and bats. Greg’s work includes predictive abundance models in the Prairie Potholes, multi-state collision risk frameworks for central U.S. wind development, and a pole-by-pole electrocution risk model for Bald Eagles and Wood Storks in Florida that prioritizes retrofits by relative risk. Comfortable translating complex science for clients, he leads cross-disciplinary teams, emphasizes practical, repeatable methods, and will find or connect you to needed expertise when projects demand it. Based in Gainesville, FL, he pairs deep technical craft with a collaborative, problem-solving approach that privileges listening and pragmatic outcomes.
