We’re excited to share today that we’re back with more episodes of “Mujeres Fronterizas” — our podcast featuring women in conservation in the borderlands. In today’s episode, SIA board member Christian Aguilar Murrieta interviews Francesca Claverie about life growing up on an alfalfa farm in Calexico, California, as part of a family with strong agricultural and political roots at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Francesca also shares more about her career trajectory and lifelong love of plants, insights gained along the way, and her current work as Native Plant Program Director for Borderlands Restoration Network.
Francesca is passionate about increasing accessibility and enthusiasm for native plants and promoting partnerships between nurseries and plant programs in the borderlands region. She serves on the board of the Sweetwater Center in Cascabel, Arizona, and is an elected town councilmember for Patagonia.
