Ron works on our adaptive management and monitoring project with the BLM at Las Cienegas National Conservation Area in southeastern Arizona.

Ron came to the Conservancy from a Tucson-based environmental consulting firm where he monitored riparian enhancement projects as a senior scientist. He has studied riparian grasslands in southeastern Arizona, investigated the role of native plants in abating air pollution in the Owens Valley during his post doc at UC Davis, and investigated the fate of treated wastewater in vegetation and soils along the Santa Cruz River in southern Arizona. Prior to entering graduate school Ron was a restoration project manager for The Nature Conservancy in California’s Kern River Valley.
