Robyn Smith is a Project Biologist with Janelle Nolan & Associates Environmental Consulting, a small woman-owned consulting firm. Robyn mainly works on implementing wildlife and botanical studies for hydroelectric relicensing projects and conducting biological analysis in support of NEPA/CEQA processes. Robyn routinely conducts protocol-level surveys for California spotted owl, northern goshawks, great gray owl, willow flycatcher, yellow-legged frogs, and Yosemite toad. Robyn is a certified wetland delineator and is recently investigating the intimidating but exciting world of botany. Robyn is generally interested in avian population ecology, amphibian conservation, and Sierra Nevada natural history. She also has a special fondness for the Hawaiian islands – for her masters degree, she studied the impacts of a non-native frog species on Hawaiian bird communities. In her spare time, Robyn enjoys birding, backpacking, kayaking, and hiking with her dog.
