Project Examples
We work on projects big and small! Here are a few examples of what we are working on.
The Joseph Branch Trail Consortium (JBTC)
Shannon serves as the current President of the JBTC. In this role, she supports the trail coordinator, conducts public outreach, collaborates with community partners, and raises funds through grants and private donations.
Toolbox Dialogue Initiative (TDI)
Shannon facilitates and analyzes data from TDI focus groups. The TDI project promotes collaboration and communication across disciplines. She coordinates and facilitates virtual TDI meetings. Shannon collaborates with faculty and staff from seven university institutions through this work to develop proposals, disseminate research findings, and craft new engagement opportunities for the TDI community.
Public perceptions of biocontrol
Shannon collaborates with the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) and the Washington State Cooperative Extension to assess public perceptions of using integrated pest management (such as biocontrol) to manage invasive species. Shannon designed a survey to garner feedback from the community members and key informants. Findings have been used to inform future educational and outreach efforts regarding the WSDA's use of biocontrol.
Wallowa County Fairgrounds Master Plan
Shannon collaborates with a diverse group of project partners to understand the current uses of the Fairgrounds and to help create a vision for the space in the future.
