Dr. Mary Lou Addor
Lou coordinates the NC Sentinel Landscapes Partnership focused on collaborative efforts across a 33-county region in North Carolina’s Coastal Plain and Sandhills. The Sentinel Landscape is home to five key military installations and ranges: Fort Bragg, Dare County Range, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Stations Cherry Point and New River, and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. Partners worked together to support conservation efforts such as endangered species recovery, while simultaneously strengthening the military mission and energizing working lands and economies. Lou has extensive experience in the development of programs and partnerships state-wide and at the national level. Since 1995, she has facilitated a number of multi-party environmental decision-making processes. Examples include the Interagency Strategic Plan of the NC Departments of Environment and Natural Resources, Transportation, and Commerce, the NC Ecological Flows Science Advisory Board, the City of Raleigh Public Participation Program for Parks Planning, the US Forest Service Forest Management Planning for the Bankhead National Forest, the Chattooga Wild & Scenic River Recreational Use, and Duke Energy Nantahala & Tuckasegee Hydropower Relicensing. Along with training and program development, these programs and facilitative processes, along with countless partners have advanced the profession and practice of collaborative decision-making in North Carolina.
