Greg Hitzroth
Aquatic Invasive Species Outreach Specialist
Greg is an aquatic invasive species specialist working out of the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe, Illinois. He designs and implements public outreach programs and resources designed to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. He also works closely with IISG’s Aquatic Invasive Species team to identify and partner with outside stakeholders, including suppliers of non-native species, to increase public awareness of the impact of organisms in trade and strategies for reducing their movement into the Great Lakes region.
Greg holds a MS in Biology from Northern Arizona University. He joined IISG after a three-year tenure as a research assistant for the Plants of Concern Program at the Chicago Botanic Gardens.
