Background
Mona Robison,
Botanical Consultant
With over 30 years of experience as a California Botanist, I bring a wide variety of expertise and knowledge to every project — from rare plant surveys and wetland delineation to environmental education and non-profit leadership.
About Me
I am a professional botanist with over three decades of hands-on experience working across California and the western United States. My work spans rare plant surveys, invasive species management, wetland delineation, and botanical inventory — serving land managers, developers, government agencies, and environmental organizations.
In addition to field botany, I have a background in teaching and environmental interpretation, which allows me to communicate complex scientific findings clearly to diverse audiences — from agency staff and legal teams to community members and students.
My years in government service and non-profit management have given me a thorough understanding of regulatory processes, compliance requirements, and the practical realities of conservation work in California. I bring that institutional knowledge to every consulting engagement.
