My professional and educational experience is rooted in understanding the plant communities of northern California and the science of resource conservation.  I have completed a diverse range of projects in Mendocino County since 2005.  The services I provide are based on accurate field studies, utilizing the most up-to-date information, and strong coordination with landowners.  I am deeply passionate and committed to sound development which enhances our communities and that is dependent on managing and integrating our biological resources.

    This photo is taken of a disturbed wetland area on a residential parcel within the City of Fort Bragg. As part of a team, I am designing a wetland restoration and management plan that is based on improving the natural hydrology, vegetation cover, water retention and long term wetland and riparian function of this parcel.
