Charlotte Grenier

Charlotte’s passion for native plant conservation and visual art began as a child, motivating her to earn her bachelor’s degrees in environmental studies and fine art from the University of California, Santa Cruz. She developed her inner moral compass from working at the UCSC Arboretum, cultivating community, equity, and sustainability. After graduating, she spent six months creating natural history-based artwork and completed a one-year service term with the California Conservation Corps Watershed Stewards Program in Humboldt.
