Changes seem to be in the air, both with the weather and at the Watershed Council. We are excited to welcome Eben Swain to our team as a Program Manager, in charge of the River Friendly Landscaping, Adopt-A-Stream and some restoration projects. Eben has been on our staff previously as a Conservation Assistant with the River Friendly Landscaping program, making him the perfect person to take over for Erin Casey. Erin has taken an incredible opportunity at Placer County as a Senior Management Analyst. She has made significant contributions to the Watershed Council during her years of involvement both as a volunteer and then as a staff member. She will be missed, but we are very excited for her!

We are also pleased that Audrey Jamison is joining our team as the Office Manager. Audrey has a wealth of business experience having spent the last 7 years in the produce industry. Her recent relocation to Truckee with her husband has given her a chance to explore new fields and she is exciting about joining the Watershed Council. Audrey will be replacing Heather Tone. Heather has enjoyed her short time at the Watershed Council. Despite her attempts to try different things she has been pulled back into the craziness of real estate industry as an Escrow Assistant with Fidelity Title.
