Conservation Biologist

Jerre Stallcup has 20 years of experience in the management of large biological and GIS-based conservation planning studies for nonprofit organizations and government agencies, both in the U.S. and abroad. Jerre was originally inspired by her biologist parents, themselves both naturalists, and extensive camping trips and biological field excursions in the Southwestern United States. A conservationist by nature, Jerre firmly believes in the need for solid scientific justification as the basis for conservation planning. Jerre received a B.S. in Biology from Stanford University, where she developed an interest in animal behavior, and a M.A. in Zoology from the University of South Florida. Living in the wilderness of south-central Florida, at Archbold Biological Station, she studied group nesting behavior of the federally threatened Florida scrub jay and honed her interests in community ecology and conservation biology.
One of the most challenging accomplishments of Jerre's professional career was directing the biological mapping, technical analyses, policy development, and report preparation for the San Diego Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP), the largest and most comprehensive multi-species plan in the nation to date. In this role, she directed the development of techniques and methodologies for the mapping and analyses that were subsequently used in other subregional conservation programs in southern California. Jerre has served as technical advisor for several other habitat conservation plans and resource management programs in California. These programs have received national recognition for their innovative approach to endangered species conservation as well as for the new techniques used in biological analysis and GIS mapping. Jerre is currently working with The Nature Conservancy and local land conservancies in conducting regional opportunities and constraints analyses for habitat conservation and land use planning, and developing habitat management plans for specific preserve acquisition parcels. Jerre is also working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish and Game, and local jurisdictions in coordinating and implementing biological monitoring programs for the Natural Communities Conservation Planning preserves in San Diego County.
Jerre is married to fellow CBI employee Michael White and lives by the beach in Encinitas, California, flower capital and surf center of the world.
