Program Topic

Andrea Gullo, Executive Director for the Puente Hills Habitat Preservation Authority, and Michell Mariscal, Puente Hills Habitat Preservation Authority Ecologist, will provide updates on current projects currently underway on the Preserve and also share information on other endeavors, in particular a special funding mechanism because the Habitat Authority currently faces a declining budget.

She was staff for the Wildlife Corridor Conservation Authority, Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, and California State Parks before joining the Habitat Authority. She has served on the Board of Directors for various local and national nonprofit organizations. She holds a masters degree in Urban Planning from UCLA.

Michelle Mariscal is the ecologist for the Puente Hills Habitat Preservation Authority.
