Jessica “J.J. ” Jones Board Member Elect
Senior Project Manager at Eugene Water & Electric Board
Jessica has called Eugene and Lane County home for over 13 years. Along with her husband, Jessica resides on a rural property on Coyote Creek, south of Crow, Oregon, that includes cattle pasture, oak savannah, wetlands, and riparian areas. For more than a decade, their property has been the site of a Long Tom Watershed Council restoration project that included the installation and maintenance of extensive fencing to protect sensitive creekside vegetation from cattle. To further enhance the health of the ecosystem, a solar-powered pumping system was installed to provide water for the cattle, allowing the creek to recover from the impact of direct livestock access. Additionally, invasive plant species have been systematically removed, and more than 30,000 native plants have been introduced to restore the area’s natural biodiversity. Jessica brings a diverse academic and professional background to her work. She holds a BA in Biological Anthropology, an MBA, and a Permaculture Design Certificate from Oregon State University’s Extension Service. Her career has spanned various sectors, including management consulting, consumer products, commercial agriculture, and utilities. This unique combination of experiences allows Jessica to bring a systems-thinking approach to problem-solving, with a deep commitment to sustainability and long-term ecological health.
Jessica was voted in as a Board member elect during June’s monthly board meeting. As such, she will stand for a vote at the Long Tom Watershed Council’s Annual Membership Meeting on October 24th 2024.
