Marisela de Santa Anna Presents

AN OVERVIEW OF THE WILLITS BYPASS MITIGATION PROJECT INCLUDING BIRD DIVERSITY

Marisela de Santa Anna works as an interpreter for the Mendocino County Resource Conservation District (MCRCD). Her focus is primarily on the Willits Bypass Mitigation Project, observing and recording data for all wildlife present on mitigation lands (nearly 2000 acres). She is tracking how our diverse community of migratory and resident birds and animals interact with habitats, infrastructure, and grazing activities throughout the seasons.

Marisela assists in wildlife monitoring during construction activities, facilitates outreach to the community, and is a conduit for bringing interested individuals and groups onto mitigation lands for tours and workshops. Marisela has lived in Willits for 43 years and spent 20 of those years working as a teacher in the Willits Unified School District. She holds a degree in both biology and botany and is an active member of the Audubon Society and California Native Plant Society; she has been involved with teaching environmental education and has led bird and wildflower hikes to thousands of adults and kids over the years. You can follow Marisela on the MCRCD blog “Willits Bypass Mitigation blog - “Observations and Ruminations” on the MCRCD website at https://mcrcd.org/project/willits-bypass-mitigation
