________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE I have been a rare plant botanist for 25 years, as a private consultant and as the lead botanist for the state of Washington for five years. I specialize in plant taxonomy, floristic surveys, and threatened, endangered and sensitive rare plants of the west. I have conducted surveys to determine presence, designed and implemented mitigation criteria, conducted original research, designed long and short-term monitoring protocols, evaluated rarity, described new species, written reintroduction and restoration plans, analyzed data, and written survey reports. Over the course of my career I have conducted and/or participated in more than 75 rare plant surveys. My secondary specialty is technical writing. I have been working in Mojave Desert habitats since 2008. EDUCATION B.S. Botany and Ecology. 1987. The Evergreen State College, Olympia, Washington. BOTANICAL FOCUS I have been conducting rare plant surveys since 1987, first in Washington State for the US Forest Service and other clients, including large public utility districts and The Nature Conservancy, then throughout the Pacific Northwest for various clients, and for the last five years throughout the west, from Alaska to southern California. I have designed and/or conducted surveys in eastern Washington, southern Idaho, eastern Oregon, western Washington and Oregon, the Sierra Nevada of California, the Tehachapi Mountains of California, the Mojave Desert of California and Nevada, and southeastern Alaska. I have and use an extensive botanical library, including the Jepson Manual of California, the five volume Flora of the Pacific Northwest, the available volumes of The Intermountain Flora and the Flora of North America, and many more regional floras.

I have produced the botanical sections of multiple Environmental Impact Statements and Assessments and written status reports, conservation plans, and original peer-reviewed papers. I have found two species and one variety new to science, and my work has contributed to the renaming of species, range extensions, new occurrence records, and reclassifications of species endangerment status. My publications are below. I completed the week-long training in plant and vegetation monitoring sponsored by the Bureau of Land Management (2002) and assisted in the development of the national standards for plant occurrence separation distances through Natureserve (2004-2005). I also completed the weeklong Natural Heritage training through Natureserve (2001). My company is a certified Women Owned Business through the California Energy Commission certification. Since 2008 I have participated in large scale botanical assessments for proposed solar projects. All have been in the Mojave Desert of California and Nevada. RECENT EXPERIENCE: MOJAVE DESERT PROJECTS Ivanpah SEGS, E. Mojave Desert, CH2M HILL and BrightSource Energy, San Bernardino County, CA.

EMPLOYMENT HISTORY I have worked in wildlife and plants for nearly 30 years, most of that time through my own consulting firm. I have specialized in Threatened, Endangered and sensitive species of the west. I have conducted surveys to determine presence, designed and implemented mitigation criteria, monitored construction, restored habitats, handled data analysis and reporting. I have a diverse background, extensive construction experience related to minimizing project impacts to flora and fauna, and technical writing skills. EDUCATION M.A. Biology. 1980. California State University, Fresno. Clark, W. A. 1980. The epidemiology of Taenia serialis Bailet, 1863, in black-tailed jackrabbit and select canine populations of Madera County, California. M.A. thesis: CSU-Fresno 102 pp. B.A. Environmental Biology. 1976. California State University, Fresno. A.S. Associate Science Degree. 1974. Gavilan College, Gilroy, California. BOTANICAL FOCUS I have been assisting in rare plant surveys since the late 1970s. I was trained in keying plants using A Flora of California (Munz 1985); now using The Jepson Manual of Higher Plants of California (Hickman et. al 1993) and The Jepson Desert Manual (Baldwin et al. 2002). I have an extensive botanical library. Surveys in the Central Valley, foothills and Sierra Nevada of California were conducted from 1978 through 1998. I assisted in producing the botanical sections of multiple Environmental Impact Statements and Assessments. Survey activities contributed to the renaming of species, range extensions, new occurrence records, and reclassifications of species endangerment status. My botanical survey work even led to one publication: Stebbins, J.C. and W.A. Clark. 1992. Endangerment status of Clarkia springvillensis (Onagraceae), Tulare County, California. Pages 271–278. In D.F. Williams, S. Byrne and T.A. Rado, eds. 1992. Endangered and sensitive species of the San Joaquin Valley, California. California Energy Commission. Sacramento, CA. 388 pp. Survey work with John Stebbins of CSUF through the 1980s led to many specials collections that made their way into multiple herbariums as voucher specimens. Due to my botanical experience, during the 1990s I was in charge of compiling project species lists for numerous California studies, from the coast to the mountains and in northern and southern California. I have researched, designed and performed many rare plant surveys in California. Out of state work includes Oregon, Colorado, and Nevada. In 1992 I joined Central Oregon Botanists and conducted forest health surveys, rare plant inventories and noxious weed assessments for eastern Oregon forests. In 1996 I assisted in a botanical survey in Colorado of the Four Corners Area. In this century I have worked primarily in the Mojave Desert, especially in the eastern Mojave. I have also compiled species lists as part of wildlife studies in the western Mojave. I have limited experience in the Sonoran Desert (i.e. two projects). I have been on large projects where I was responsible for rare plant and wildlife species inventories across state lines (e.g. Kern River Pipeline from Utah to California). Many transmission line and pipeline projects have allowed me to work in Nevada. I have keyed select species using The Intermountain Flora, and The Cacti of the United States and Canada (Benson 1982). During my professional career I have attended training in habitat assessments such as In-stream Flow Workshop sponsored by the California Department of Fish and Game (1983), Habitat Evaluation Procedures (HEP) sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (1986), Basic Wetland Delineation by the Wetland Training Institute (2004), and Federal Requirements for Public Projects sponsored by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (2008). Since 2008 I have assisted in large scale botanical assessments ahead of proposed solar projects. All have been in the eastern Mojave Desert with components in Nevada. By way of introduction I have listed botanical projects I have been apart of over the last 3.5 years. For my experience surveying for sensitive species of Nevada specifically, I offer the list of potential species surveyed for on recent projects; Table 1.
