William Foley

The School of Conservation continues to attract the best teachers in the field. Who better to teach on a campus nestled in the middle of Stokes State Forest but the former Superintendent of the forest! Bill has brought a unique set of skills and expertise that compliment our program and the other SOC teachers.

Bill earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Forestry in 1978 while attending Michigan Technological University. His minor in Recreational Resource Administration prepared him for a twenty-eight year career as a Superintendent in New Jersey's Division of Parks and Forestry.

Spending almost half of his career as Superintendent of Stokes State Forest, Bill has accumulated a deep understanding of the history and attributes of Stokes Forest. Working closely with other natural resource agencies, he has gained an incredibly rich three-dimensional perspective of the dynamic forces that shape our natural world.

Retired from State Service, Bill has joined the teaching team at SOC and the school has benefitted greatly from the addition of this special person. Bill enjoys fly fishing, camping, lapidary and beekeeping. He serves on the Board of the Sussex County Beekeepers Association.
