Icard Merrill attorney Bradley J. Ellis has been named to a two-year term as Vice Chair of the Board of Directors for the American Hiking Society (AHS), a non-profit which serves as the nation’s leading voice on policy issues and legislation to ensure funding for trails, preservation of natural areas and protection of the hiking experience. Ellis is a member (non-equity partner) attorney of the firm, and concentrates his practice in the areas of land use and zoning, construction, local government and governmental liability (inclusive of litigation and appeals). Ellis is also an Eagle Scout with the Boy Scouts of America, and a member of its Order of the Arrow national honor society in which he serves among the top leadership of the Arrowmen Conservation School, which both trains Scouts to conduct conservation projects and also conducts large-scale conservation projects throughout the nation. It was this association with the BSA/OA and his extensive experience in trail-building conservation projects that prompted AHS to invite Ellis to join their volunteer board.
