Tanya Chapple

Bio:

I grew up in the sunshine of lovely Carmel Valley on the Monterey Peninsula. I spent much of my time admiring little flowers. Then I grew older and decided that I would formally know those little flowers as a Plant Biology student at UC Berkeley. While I was there I focused mostly on conservation issues. I had a good time and then alas, it was time to leave. But to where? The internet eventually led me to the Watershed Stewards Project. I thought there was no reason not to move to Humboldt, and learn about salmons. For 2007 I worked at the Fortuna Fish and Game, learning much about salmons and woody debris. Now I find myself in Americorps once again, but this time I am at the Mid Klamath Watershed Council in Orleans, looking forward to all that will come to me here, living on the river.

Hannah Colton

Bio:

Hannah grew up in a small town in rural Vermont, right down the road from the ski area Killington. She attended a small liberal art college, the University of New England in Maine. She graduated with a degree in Environmental Science and a minor in Marine Biology in May 2007. Since that time she worked in Maine for the summer. In the fall, Hannah, worked in New York at a YMCA environmental camp, where she taught children about the environment and inspired them about being in the outdoors. It was during college after taking a couple of interesting courses about fish, that Hannah decided she want to study fish. Lacking fish related experience; Hannah found it hard to find a job in Vermont and discovered the Watershed Stewards Project. At her Hopland site, working for the California Department of Fish and Game, Hannah has had the chance to help spawn steelhead, work in a hatchery, check downstream migrant traps for juvenile salmonids, and write lots of reports. Hannah adores Sea Turtles and hopes to become a “Sea Turtle Wrangler”, where she can help baby sea turtles make it to the sea. After her term at WSP, Hannah hopes to go back East and bring back the endangered Atlantic salmon.

Bio:

WSP led me to venture to the west coast of California all the way from Kansas. I graduated from Kansas State University last December of 2008 with a degree in Biodiversity and Conservation Biology. Currently I am living in the small town of Woodacre in Marin County. I enjoy hiking to numerous peaks to enjoy the beautiful views of the bay area. I love going to the beach and will soon learn to surf. Previously, I worked in other national forests in the field of Fisheries. I think I have found my calling in life, and it is in the middle of the forest.
