About Gregory Golgowski
Gregory Golgowski is the Conservation Director at Harmony Development Co. since September, 2002. He is responsible for the wildlife habitat management, best development practices and resident conservation education programs for the 11,000-acre Harmony development near Orlando, Florida. It is the goal of these programs to see that the property’s natural systems are kept in a healthy condition, that the community grows using practices that conserve natural resources and that opportunities exist for the community’s residents to fully appreciate and enjoy the benefits of living with a connection to animals and nature.
Greg also serves as President/CEO of the Harmony Institute, the non-profit that has developed and advanced many of the innovations displayed at the Harmony development. The Institute’s mission is to promote human health and well being through the interaction of people, animals and the environment. A current project is Camp Spirit, a small farm where groups of children and adults can work with agricultural animals and enjoy gardening.
Before coming to Harmony, Greg served as Deputy Executive Director of the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council in Maitland, Florida; Senior Environmental Analyst for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Planner for the Columbia County (New York) Planning Department. He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners, has a degree in biology from Hartwick College in New York and is a fellow of the Florida Natural Resources Leadership Institute of the University of Florida.
