Friends of the Fells is excited to welcome Andrea Robles, our new Terracorps Land Stewardship Coordinator, to the team!
Andrea grew up in Northern California surrounded by redwoods, farmland, and the coast. Her appreciation for nature led her to study Environmental Systems and Ecology at UC San Diego, and pursue work as a seasonal biologist in Oregon, California, and Massachusetts. Her work has included bird banding, leading environmental education and public outreach efforts, and monitoring piping plovers.
Andrea is ready to tackle new community-oriented projects during her 11-month service term, saying, “I’m excited to join Friends of the Fells because I love connecting people with nature and helping care for the places we share. I’m looking forward to working with the amazing Fells community to protect the ecosystem through invasive plant management, care for the trail system, and build connections with local Indigenous communities through the Native Lands Learning Series.”
Andrea looks forward to learning more about forest ecology and conservation in the Fells. In her free time, she enjoys salsa dancing, bird watching, and exploring tide pools.
“Andrea brings a great energy and enthusiasm to the Land Stewardship Coordinator role, and we are looking forward to having her join and lead projects to address trails, volunteering, and increased programming.”
– Field Programs Manager, Maddie Morgan
