Scott LaValley
Scott LaValley, MS, has been a malacologist and valued member of EnviroScience since April 2023. He specializes in conducting and leading freshwater mussel surveys and report writing. His favorite part of working at EnviroScience is traveling to new areas to survey rivers and work with new freshwater mussel species.
Scott earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology – Natural Resources in 2017 and a Master of Science in Conservation Biology in 2022 from Central Michigan University (CMU) in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.
While at CMU, he worked in a research laboratory studying freshwater mussels with a team of undergraduate and graduate researchers. Research topics focused on the impacts of spatial ecology, genetics, and environmental toxicology on freshwater mussels.
Before working at EnviroScience, Scott worked as a laboratory technician at CMU, leading mussel surveys and outreach programs, and as a biologist at the Harrison Lake National Fish Hatchery through Virginia Tech, where he performed day-to-day operations, stocked propagated mussels, and wrote reports for the South River Restoration Project. He has been approved to survey small and large non-listed mussel streams in Ohio, New York, and West Virginia, and he is in the process of obtaining federal permits in multiple states.
Scott has a lifelong passion for nature, foraging for mushrooms, and birding. When he is not outdoors, he enjoys expanding his cooking knowledge and spending time with friends and family.
