Sarah Verlinde, Launch Specialist with the UW Bothell Herbarium Collections, and fellow researcher Ashley will speak on ‘The Good, the Bad and the Yummy’, restoring bird habitat through the use of native and perennials plants and shrubs in the Pacific Northwest.
Sarah earned a degree in Biology which included several plant studies. She participated in wetland mitigation and restoration projects with Snohomish County, doing plant inventory and monitoring. She worked as an intern at the Tulalip Tribes to reintroduce a native food source, Wapato (Sagittaria latifolia), to tribal land. With this project she won a Scholarship Award from the Society for Wetland Scientists and presented at the PNW 2015 Conference in Olympia.
Sarah Verlinde works full-time as a Launch Specialist at the UW Bothell Office of Research. Most of her work focuses on grant support and new projects, including the launch of the UW Bothell Herbarium which began in 2015.
