About

Hello! My name is Madison McVey and I am a wetland scientist with three years of experience and have worked on a variety of projects related to the Clean Water Act (CWA), Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). My project experience includes wetland delineations, habitat assessments, threatened and endangered species monitoring, aquatic macroinvertebrate surveys, aquatic resource relocation (i.e., freshwater mussel and fishes), migratory bird nest surveys, mitigation planning, and wetland and waterbody functional & conditional assessments.

I received a BA in Biology with a concentration in ecology and evolutionary biology from Thomas More University. I am pursuing a Master of Wildlife and Fisheries Resources (MWFR) at Clemson University. My education emphasized aquatic biology, marine biology, wildlife biology, and ecology and my research focus included aquatic biology and wildlife behavior. I am currently Wetland Scientist I at Copperhead Environmental Consulting, Inc. in Paint Lick, Kentucky.
