Lindsey Hack Email & Phone Number

I specialize in California native plant and pollinator gardens, providing garden maintenance, design, planting, and drip irrigation services (installation and repair).

Richmond, California

I provide walks, medical care, and pet sitting throughout the East Bay.

Albany, California, United States

I assist in the research, release and monitoring of insect biological control agents for invasive plants. I also provide assistance to a microbiology lab studying endophytic fungi in invasive plants. My responsibilities include insect rearing, plant propagation and care, carrying out field , greenhouse and lab experiments, data collection, data entry, fungal culturing, and DNA isolation.

Oakland, California

I helped manage and carry out ecological restoration projects throughout the Bay Area. My duties included propagating native plants in a nursery, establishing and maintaining plantings in natural landscapes, identifying plant species and instructing crew members on field identification, and managing field crews conducting site maintenance.

Berkeley, California, United States

I facilitated the restoration and ongoing maintenance of natural landscapes through hands-on work in wildfire risk mitigation, weed management, and the installation of native plant species in ecologically appropriate locales throughout the Bay Area.

Davis, Ca

I provided technical assistance for an ecological restoration program aimed at increasing pollinator abundance and diversity on agricultural land. I aided in planting and maintenance of wildflower plots and flowering hedgerows designed to provide forage for native bees along crop field borders, and collected field data to test their efficacy. Additional responsibilities included data management, establishing and maintaining relationships with landowners, coordination of field data collection, and training undergraduate assistants on field and laboratory protocols.

I managed a data-mining, ecoinformatics project (Citrusformatics) aimed at investigating pest management practices in California's citrus industry through collaboration with growers. I recruited citrus growers to collaborate in the project through the use of pest monitoring records from their commercial orchards. I standardized and consolidated information about pest and beneficial insect populations, crop yield and quality, leaf nutrient analyses, and pesticide use from many farms into a custom-designed SQL database.

Yolo County, California

I completed one field season of work on a long-term project assessing the diversity of native pollinator communities visiting flowering hedgerows planted along agricultural field borders in Yolo County, California. I collected insect visitors to flowering plants following a standardized protocol, conducted vegetation surveys, entered data, and supervised high school interns.

The Lomas Barbudal Monkey Project, established in 1990 by Susan Perry at UCLA, is a long-term field research project with the goal of studying social behavior in wild white-faced capuchin monkeys. I spent one year as a field assistant, following several troops of monkeys while recording behavioral and ecological data. I relied on rigorous training to identify individual monkeys, social behaviors, and vocalizations, as well as the wide variety of plants and animals that the monkeys consumed and interacted with. Other responsibilities included training new field assistants, maintaining trails, used maps and GPS to navigate, and cooking meals.
