Teresa ArrateEducation Director![]() Growing up in Reno, NV, Teresa Arrate spent a lot of time in the Sierras hiking and camping with her family, developing her love for nature and living outdoors. Teresa moved to Quincy after completing her Masters degree in Conservation Biology and Sustainable Development at the University of Wisconsin – Madison (UW) where she focused on community outreach and environmental education for women in a small community in Jalisco, Mexico. While at UW, she also helped develop the Climate Knowledge Project which aims to enhance and expand climate change education, awareness, dialogue, and action. In addition to recreating in the region, with six seasons of field experience in the Great Basin, the Mojave, the Rocky Mountain Front Range, and the Sierras Teresa gained a strong familiarity with conservation, restoration, and ecological land management. Teresa is honored to be part of the Plumas Audubon team and she is - along with her husband, Chris (who attended FRC in the ORL program), daughter, Azura, and their newest addition, Atlas - happy to be part of this great community in Plumas County.

Michael HallField Coordinator![]() Michael began his love affair with Plumas County in 2010, when he graduated from UC Davis with a BS in Psychology and moved to work as an environmental science educator at Sierra Nevada Journeys in Portola. After four years, he left the Sierra to explore the Rocky Mountains, going to work for the Montana Conservation Corps on habitat improvement and conservation projects throughout the greater Yellowstone region. An opportunity to work as an environmental educator in Yosemite National Park brought him back to California, where he spent time teaching about issues such as species removal/reintroduction, leave no trace, and how climate change affects our national parks. In February, Michael moved to Quincy and joined Plumas Audubon to help with field work as well as help write educational programs focusing on conservation and restoration of local ecosystems. In his spare time you can find him exploring local areas, riding bikes, sliding on snow, climbing on rocks, or trying hard to catch a fish.
