Summary
Jonathan Hogg is an environmental scientist with 16 years of experience designing and implementing wildlife and habitat assessments for transportation and energy projects, currently based in Oakland and working at Caltrans District 4. He blends rigorous field skills—wildlife surveys, remote camera work, pygmy rabbit and prairie dog studies—with GIS mapping and environmental compliance expertise to support permitting and mitigation strategies. His career spans wilderness to urban ecology, including a master's thesis on raptor habitat in the St. Louis metro and hands-on restoration and monitoring across the Intermountain West. Known for translating complex regulations into practical mitigation plans, he has managed spatial databases and produced environmental reports that inform infrastructure decisions. Comfortable in both boots-on-the-ground fieldwork and technical analysis, he brings a long-term commitment to connecting people with wildlife where development and nature intersect. An often-overlooked strength is his early experience running conservation data systems, which underpins his current ability to integrate field data into actionable compliance products.
