Herrera is pleased to announce the expansion of its environmental planning and permitting services. Mary Yoder-Williams joined Herrera in 2002 as a senior ecologist and environmental planner with more than 16 years of experience in biological assessment and environmental management including 10 years with the City of Seattle. Ms. Yoder-Williams will provide planning and regulatory review support for numerous projects including Herrera’s prime On-Call Permitting Services contract with Sound Transit.

Herrera is pleased to announce the expansion of our Missoula, Montana office to include administrative support and ecological restoration services.

Sue Wall-MacLane is a botanist joining Herrera’s Missoula office from the Montana Agriculture Research Station. Ms. Wall-MacLane’s restoration experience includes working at a privately run wildlife refuge in the Bitterroot Valley. Susan Hopkins will serve as Herrera’s Missoula office administrator.

Sue and Susan join Kris Lee, Herrera’s director of environmental science and environmental scientist Laura Jones-Lofink, who have been with Herrera’s Missoula office for three years. Their unique combination of expertise in upland and riparian restoration, botany, and sustainable agriculture will enhance Herrera’s current Montana projects and allow Herrera to provide local environmental consulting services on a broader array of projects in Montana and Idaho.
