resource management and sustainable infrastructure

habitat restoration and management planning (which
includes natural resources assessment through
monitoring recommendations, and often completion
of permit applications), including for wetland
mitigation and restoration, but I've worked in a
diversity of ecosystems from dry to wet and riparian
to severely degraded habitats. I am also a NRCS
Certified Conservation Planner. I do a lot of one on
one time with land owners and managers helping
them learn the plants (native and invasive) as well as
understanding management strategies for invasive
species and native plant recovery. My rates vary
dependent on the site and the scope of work.

The objectives of the Rare Plant Facilities:
1. Gene pool bank of Plant Extinction Prevention
mid-elevation species (less than 50 individuals in
the wild) that cannot be stored as seed or in tissue
culture, with priority to species of the island on
which the facility occurs.
2.
ropagation testing for Plant Extinction Prevention
mid-elevation species for which propagation
techniques to raise plants to reproduction stage
are not yet known.
3. Propagation of reintroduction material from
Plant Extinction Prevention mid-elevation species
from the island as needed for land managers with
protected habitats and well-developed
reintroduction goals that follow the HRPRG
guidelines.
4. Gene pool bank of other than Plant Extinction
Prevention mid-elevation species from the island
that cannot be stored as seed or in tissue culture.
5. Propagation of reintroduction material from nonPlant Extinction Prevention rare species from the
island as needed for land managers with protected
habitats and well-developed reintroduction goals
that follow the HRPRG guidelines.
6. Propagation of reintroduction material from
PEP/other island rare species for private
