Bill Wall, PhD.
While working for Alaska Village Initiatives in Anchorage, Bill directed the development of Private Lands Wildlife Management Program Models for Native Corporation Lands. He also conceived and managed the development of a village based integrated biomass utilization program model that links environmental, subsistence, economic, social and cultural benefits which stabilize and reduce energy costs through wood heat and electrical power systems. Currently, Bill is working on several contracts to develop integrated biomass utilization programs in rural Alaskan communities, including a district wood heating system in Fort Yukon.
