Anisha Malik is a Restoration Ecologist with Michael Baker International (Michael Baker). Anisha has experience in restoration projects for wetlands, riparian systems, and coastal sage scrub habitats, as well as a wide variety of mitigation projects required for jurisdictional impacts. Anisha identifies mitigation site opportunities and designs site plans that will provide beneficial results for stakeholders involved as well as the local watershed. She identifies species to be included in the plant palette and works with contractors to design the placement of plants. She conducts qualitative and quantitative monitoring at sites, with some activities involving water and soil sampling, tree height measuring, and invasive species prevention (i.e. polyphagous shot hole borers). Post implementation, Anisha helps prepare long term site maintenance plans for projects. Anisha received her B.S. in Chemistry at Santa Clara University. Because of her unique background, Anisha is able to maintain attention to detail while remaining organized and efficient, bringing a unique analytical skill set to her work. With the data collected from her projects, she writes annual reports to submit to regulatory agencies. She is responsible for baseline studies, including conducting jurisdictional delineations and California Rapid Assessment Method (CRAM) analysis at project sites. Once the studies are conducted, she prepares permit applications and coordinates with staff from various state and federal agencies. Anisha collaborates with multiple disciplines within Michael Baker, some of which include landscape architecture, water quality, hydrology, community planning, and environmental services. Michael Baker consists of multiple areas in which an integrated design team can be formed.
