Mission Hills Garden Club
Jess Norton brings over ten years of federal, state, and local experience in protected species regulation, natural resource management, and environmental planning to the Conservancy. She gained extensive knowledge of San Diego’s native habitats and species during her 4-1/2 years with the County of San Diego Department of Parks & Recreation, where she was responsible for preparing Resource Management Plans, overseeing biological/cultural surveys, and obtaining grant funds for habitat restoration projects. Most recently, she worked as a contractor at Camp Pendleton, revising its Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan. She is excited by the opportunity to preserve, protect, and educate others about all the resources within the River Park. missionhillsgardenclub.org.
