When she built a wildlife pond in the backyard in 1996, dragonflies arrived and she found her true passion. Wanting to share her passion, she developed websites for her wildlife ponds, and those matured into her authoring California’s first Dragonfly Guide, Common Dragonflies of California, as well as other publications. She manages the eGroup CalOdes and is a member of several other Odonate groups, and tracks flight data and distribution for California and the greater southwest. Sandra von Arb has been a professional wildlife biologist for 30 years, focusing on sensitive and endangered species in northern California, southern Oregon, and northern Illinois. She is a co-founder of Biodiversity Education and Research Foundation, whose mission is to foster ecological stewardship through science and education.
