My name is Teri Biancardi, and I joined TEAM RCD in 2021. I was born and educated in Southern California but lived in England for 16 years, before returning to my roots in 2001. My professional background is in journalism but since returning to the US I have been active in natural resource protection and restoration efforts. California is a biodiversity hotspot replete with unique plant and animal communities that deserve to retain their place in the world. I am honored to have been appointed by Supervisor Chuck Washington to serve on TEAM RCD and embrace the duty of stewardship it confers.
