Carolyn is a scientist now retired from Lake County government. Working for the county she specialized in invasive species, watershed issues, and land and water use permitting. She managed the Aquatic Plant Management Program for Clear Lake, the Lake County Quagga and Zebra Mussel Prevention Program and participated in the Clear Lake Harmful Algal Bloom Task Force. These positions involved grant writing, grant management, permit monitoring, water, soil and sediment sampling, and in some cases, analysis.
Carolyn was educated in England and the US, obtaining BS degrees in Biology and Manufacturing Engineering, and MS degrees in Technology of Crop Protection and Viticulture. Carolyn is a certified lab analyst and holds a Pesticide Control Adviser License.
Since moving to Lake County in 2000, she and her husband have developed a love for one of the most diverse counties in the western US, and in particular Clear Lake, a seriously forgotten national treasure. This led Carolyn to co-found CLERC to answer the many questions asked about Clear Lake’s ecology.
