Experience Highlights
Amanda has 8 years experience as a field botanist/ecologist and project coordinator on public lands of Eastern and Western Oregon, Western Washington, Northern Alaska, Northern Sierra California and Idaho. She can identify NW vascular plant species, and is skilled in the identification of lichens and bryophytes. Her work experience required, in part, finding and mapping rare plant populations, invasive weeds, and special habitats. She has used GIS to produce maps as well as make spatial analyses. Amanda has also been involved in ecological studies gathering and analyzing a suite of environmental data in both forested and non-forested ecosystems.
