About this speaker
Regina Hirsch has over 20 years’ experience delivering resilient water solutions to private, public and commercial entities. These projects focus on applying site specific best management practices such as Low Impact Development, water conservation techniques, and water reuse in public and commercial demonstration areas that solve critical management problems while rehydrating watersheds for multiple beneficial uses.
After monitoring watershed health and water quality parameters at the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Board and the Morro Bay National Estuary Program, Regina founded a “design/build” firm, Watershed Progressive (WP) focusing on best management practices aimed at rehydrating watersheds and promoting outreach and education. Since 2010, Watershed Progressive has helped plan, design, install and monitor Watershed parcel-based projects which have restored acres of habitat and while increasing watershed recharge and reduced demand on critical resources. WP has projects throughout stretching from Mono County west to the Bay Area, from San Bernardino County to Humboldt County.
Knowing what we do on our lands can make a cumulative difference in water management, Regina’s goal is to spread the word on good and appropriate decision making when it comes to water, energy, plants, soils and most of all, communities.
