Dr. Martin Quigley- Director
Dr. Martin F. Quigley is Director of Landscape and Natural Resources (almost 2,000 acres) of natural and constructed landscapes) at the University of Central Florida. Concurrently, he is Director of the UCF Arboretum (80 acres) and Associate Professor in the Department of Biology.
Dr. Quigley is also a licensed landscape architect and an environmental and planning consultant. He has worked on historic landscape renovations, rails-to-trails conversions, vegetation surveys and other environmental analyses, and botanic garden enhancements. His current research focus is stewardship and restoration of fragmented second-growth forests, green roof plantings with native species, the creation of vegetated swales for filtration of urban runoff, and concomitant suppression of woody exotic invasives. His goal for central Florida is to spread a greater awareness of the unique habitats that exist here, their fragility and resilience—and how humans, in our alterations of the landscape, must work with the ecosystem rather than attempt to replace it with an unsustainable image.
