We are very pleased to welcome a new addition to the WeedWise team!
The WeedWise program is pleased to announce our newest staff member Makayla Hartness! Makayla joins our team as a new WeedWise Technician.
Makayla joins the WeedWise Program’s efforts to manage invasive weeds across Clackamas County, with a focus on protecting natural areas in the Mt Hood National Forest during post-wildfire recovery and infrastructure redevelopment.
Makayla grew up in rural North Texas and cultivated her passion for conservation during a year of service in the Texas Conservation Corps. There she worked on invasive species management, wildfire fuel mitigation, and a variety of habitat restoration projects.
Before joining the WeedWise team, Makayla worked as a Green Infrastructure Technician doing riparian restoration and managing stormwater infrastructure sites in Central Texas.
Since joining the WeedWise Team, Makayla has been honing her skills in plant identification and weed management. She has been working closely with our WeedWise Specialists supporting projects across Clackamas County.
We are excited to see the positive impact that Makayla brings to the WeedWise program! Please help us welcome Makayla!
