When weather events devastate a community, there is more work to do beyond rebuilding homes and businesses. There is also a need to repair damage to the ecosystem, specifically lost trees.
Grady McGahan is the director of , an organization that focuses on environmental rehabilitation following damage caused by severe storms by replanting lost trees.
He graduated from Georgetown University in 2004 with a BA in English and minors in international business, history and studio art. McGahan worked on the production teams of the 2008 Papal Mass at Yankee Stadium, the Bravo series "Long Way Round," the PBS series "Texas Ranch House," and Michael Moore's documentary film "SiCKO." In April of 2010, he began an 18-month trip around-the-world that took McGahan to 25 countries on 5 continents.
