Greg Wilson 861 Ballstown Road Lititz, PA 17543 (717) 627-0419 (h) (717) 587-8351 (c) [email protected]

Greg was a founding partner in Woodland Concrete, Inc. which was established in 1979. Located in Brownstown PA, WCI was a full service concrete contracting firm. It provided services in all aspects of concrete including residential, commercial, and industrial. WCI was a local leader in developing the decorative concrete industry. Greg and his business partner of 33 years closed Woodland Concrete, Inc. in 2012. Greg is retired and enjoying his various passions of conservation and fly fishing. Greg’s love of the outdoors and fly fishing began at a young age. He began fly fishing when he was 15-years-old. Fly fishing has grown to be one of his life time passions. Greg needed to travel across PA to fish clear rivers and streams. During his travels, Greg wondered “if Lancaster County has the most fertile limestone streams in the PA, then why do I need to drive several hours to find good fishing.” Greg approached the board members of the Donegal Chapter of Trout Unlimited about restoring his hometown limestone spring fed stream, the Lititz Run. At the time the board consisted of a small group of sportsmen and conservationists. Over the next several years, operating on a shoestring budget and using an all volunteer labor source, the project to restore Lititz Run began. The restoration of Lititz Run began in 1989, and the project has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards. Restoration work on Lititz Run continues today with ongoing improvements in all aspects of urban and suburban water quality. Donegal Trout Unlimited continues to work with and educate farmers and other landowners throughout the Lititz Run watershed. In 2000, Greg was awarded the National Trout Unlimited Conservationist of the Year Non-Professional award. Greg continues to be active in the Donegal Chapter of Trout Unlimited. He has been a board member for 24 years. He also serves as Vice President of the Lititz Run Watershed Alliance. In 2000, Greg and his wife purchased a degraded 50 acre farm in Warwick Township. The property has small tributary streams that feed Lititz Run. They have spent countless hours restoring the land which once grew soybeans and corn, pastured dairy cattle, and was overrun by invasive plant species to a wildlife habitat where native grasses, shrubs, and trees shelter many species of birds, deer, and other animals.
