Botanist Lauren Quon checks the growth of the native plants recently planting on the Cleveland National Forest in the San Diego River Gorge Calif., Feb. 10, 2023.
Quon has been with the Forest Service for 8 years, joining after a 1.5-year internship.
It was during that internship where she decided to work for a government agency, feeling she would have a greater impact and influence on conservation practices.
