Bruce Sorrie Bio
Bruce Sorrie was born in Andover, Massachusetts, graduated from Phillips Academy, and Cornell University with a B.S. in Vertebrate Zoology.
"After military service as a photographer and various positions as an ornithologist, it became clear that my deepening interest in plants was pointing towards a career in botany. In 1979 I accepted a position as Botanist with the Natural Heritage Program in Boston, Massachusetts and remained there for 12 years, studying the rare flora of that state. In 1999 a colleague and I published the first complete catalogue of the flora of Massachusetts. Increasing interest in the flora of the southeastern U.S. coastal plain led to a move to North Carolina in 1991. Through natural area inventories and rare species surveys, I have studied coastal plain phytogeography from Virginia to Texas, primarily within the longleaf pine ecosystem. North Carolina natural areas inventoried include Fort Bragg and Camp Mackall (US Army), Sandhills Game Land, Holly Shelter Game Land, plus Richmond, Cumberland, and Hoke Counties."
Sorrie retired from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program in 2014.
