Anna Jeffries, BA, is a Senior GIS Analyst with over 16 years of experience supporting environmental planning and resource management through high-quality spatial analysis and cartographic products. Since joining Madrone Environmental Services in 2009, Anna has played a central role in delivering complex GIS solutions for terrestrial ecosystem mapping, watershed assessments, wildlife habitat modeling, and environmental assessments across British Columbia and the Yukon.

Anna is highly experienced with ESRI’s ArcGIS Pro, ArcMap, and 3D mapping software such as Summit and PurVIEW. She applies automation techniques, including Python scripting and ModelBuilder, to improve data processing efficiency and consistency across projects. Anna is known for her thoughtful cartographic design, and she develops company-wide map templates and symbology libraries to support standardized, professional outputs. She provides essential GIS support for field staff, including field data systems and pre-field preparations using mobile applications such as Survey123 and Field Maps.

Collaboration is a key part of Anna’s approach. She works closely with multidisciplinary teams (biologists, agrologists, hydrologists, and project managers) to ensure spatial products are not only technically accurate but also practical and relevant. She mentors junior staff, shares technical resources, and supports internal training to help build capacity within the GIS team.

Kelly, M.Sc., P.Ag., is a forest hydrologist with over 35 years of experience covering a broad range of projects in British Columbia. Kelly worked with Madrone in the 1990’s and returns after operating an independent consultancy for 29 years. She has completed over 200 projects in locations throughout British Columbia that range from Vancouver Island, the mainland coast and the interior of British Columbia to Haida Gwaii.

A large portion of her career has focused on conducting watershed assessments for forestry clients and hydrometric/hydrometeorlogic monitoring for a variety of clients and purposes. Watershed assessments have been conducted along the west coast of Vancouver Island, Great Bear Rainforest, Haida Gwaii and the interior of British Columbia. Her work has also included managing a watershed assessment program for a large chart area and working with risk-based decision-making frameworks. Hydrometric monitoring applications include community water supply, domestic water supply, culvert sizing, potential impacts on nearby stream, in-stream flow requirements for fish and independent hydroelectric generation. Clients include forest companies, First Nations communities, government (municipal, provincial, federal), engineering firms, independent power producers, streamkeeper and conservancy groups, and farmers. She brings enthusiasm and attention to detail in working as part of an interdisciplinary team to her work at Madrone.
