Carly Stines

River Monitoring Coordinator

Growing up romping around in the rivers of North Carolina, Carly developed a deep respect for nature. She spent her undergrad studying Environmental Science with a concentration in Biology and completed an honors thesis focused on coral reef restoration. Inspired to support the land that brings her so much joy following graduation, she has worked on regenerative farms in northern California, for a land trust in the Eastern Sierra, and is now excited to bring her passion for watersheds to SYRCL.

She is honored to play a part in conserving and caring for the lands that she has come to love so deeply. In her free time, you can find her hiking, swimming in any and all bodies of water, heading to the coast for a surf, immersed in a good book, or planning her next adventure.

Jack Roney

Restoration Coordinator

Jack grew up in Santa Rosa, spending much of his time exploring the hills and streams of the coast ranges. Since before he could walk he loved fish, and growing up that passion extended to all other forms of life. Jack received his bachelor’s in biology from Dartmouth College in 2024, with a concentration in evolution and ecology. While there he helped found the Flora and Fauna club, leading trips to find interesting species and act on local conservation issues. He has done research on salmonids in Sonoma, birds across the northeast, and fungi in Hubbard brook experimental forest.

As SYRCL’s 2025-26 SNAP Restoration Coordinator, Jack is excited to create and monitor chinook salmon habitat, discover lost meadows, and help the Yuba thrive watershed wide. Outside of work he enjoys trail running, fly fishing, playing ukulele and foraging.
