McGraw is a senior project manager and senior wildlife biologist at Princeton Hydro. He has more than 20 years of experience in ecological assessments and wildlife surveys and is also an ornithology instructor at the University of Pennsylvania.

McGraw led the ecological study of Swede Run, focused on the section of the waterway that traverses the Swede Run Field Open Space. The study – funded by a 2024 New Jersey Audubon Grant – provided funding for an ecological, geomorphic and water-quality assessment and will form the basis for STEM to pursue grant money for future habitat restoration.

The future restoration work will build on the successful habitat restoration project on the big field at Swede Run, which STEM undertook with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the township.
