Gwen Starrett

Secretary

When Gwen and her husband visited Netarts for the first time, they were awestruck by the natural beauty of the bay, the beaches, and the forested hillsides. They were hooked and moved to the area within months. Gwen aspires to give back to the community and natural landscape where she lives and is committed to WEBS’ mission of stewardship and environmental education.

Gwen has a Master’s degree in Ecology and has worked as an environmental scientist for the California Water Board, as a classroom teacher, and as an environmental educator.  Since retirement, she has volunteered in Sierra meadow restoration projects, forest collaborative management, and native plant propagation.

You may find her out in the field watching birds, learning the native flora, or collecting seeds for the Northwest Oregon Restoration Partnership (NORP), a program of the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership.
