Andrew completed his first restoration project when he was 15 helping fence off a wetland in Tualatin. Since then, his love for plants and local ecology has only grown. After studying terrestrial and freshwater ecology at Western Washington University, he moved back to the Willamette Valley and started work in on-the-ground implementation of land stewardship.
He has worked on a variety of projects ranging from landscape scale wetland restoration projects to smaller upland oak and prairie stewardship projects to mapping plant species in remote locations. Outside of working part time for the watershed council he enjoys tending to a large garden, going on rock climbing adventures, woodworking and runs a small native plant nursery.
Andrew will be supporting the Council with watershed enhancement projects, with his passion for native plant and watershed restoration skills, we are thrilled to welcome him to the team. We are looking forward to expanding our watershed health impacts and serving our Greater Oregon City watershed communities as our team grows to include new perspectives and experiences.
