Charmaine Delmatier
Charmaine Deltmatier

After graduating from Chico State with a double major in Music and Botany,
I went on to complete my graduate work a t the University of Wyoming.  From Wyoming I became the Texas State
Botanist for the U.S. Dept. of the Interior.
 
Retirement from the federal government freed up my commitment to other parts of the US.  Now, it's wonderful to be back home. It is incredible to me that the part of town I grew up in is still the same. That is what I love about Chico; its commitment to a small town atmosphere, but at the same time promoting its economic growth. I hope to offer some of my experience and services to the Chico area as a Botanical Consultant and help sculpt its unique natural landscape. I've enjoyed exploring the new shops in town, and appreciate the growth and quality of entertainment that has developed both at the college level and in the community.
