She helped to pass Costa Mesa’s organics first policy and consults with other OC municipalities for organic land care transitions. \nVanessa holds a certificate in Permaculture Design from The Ecology Center in San Juan Capistrano\, an accreditation in organic land care from the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) and was a co-writer for the Organic Land Care Project (OLCP). \n  \nAnn Owens is a retired history teacher with over 20 years teaching experience.
