Happy Fall, to Who, Who? To You. 🦉This week, our biology team member, Jorge Arriaga, spotted this Great Horned Owl in a large eucalyptus tree at his project site on the grounds of the VA Medical Center in Los Angeles. It's an unusual find during the day since owls are nocturnal. Just goes to show that you should always keep your eyes open (and look up!) to find nature's fall suUltraSystems Environmental Inc.ental Inc.

With drones, UltraSystems can offer our clients highly-specific data and imaging information as it pertains to their project.Here at #ultrasystems we love to partner with our local community. Recently, #ultrasystems Cultural Resource Manager, Stephen O’Neil, M.A. Anthropology, was invited to speak at the grand re-opening of the Diego Sepulveda Adobe in Costa Mesa. The Costa Mesa Historical Society asked Mr. O’Neil to share his expertise on the early history of the adobe structure and the land that it sits on, as well as, the native people that once resided there. Mr. O’Neil’s remarks included a brief history of the land that was originally known as the Gengaa village inhabited by the Tongva tribe and continued through the establishment of the estancia (cattle ranch) by the Mission San Juan Capistrano. He explained how Native vaqueros (cowboys) were recruited by the mission and the impact that the mission economy had on the traditional way of life for the Tongva tribe. To view Mr. O’Neil’s full remarks, please follow this link. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIJfCOp8txw

Looking up at the tall buildings in Chennai, India, Swarna was inspired to become an engineer and mastered the ability to design those buildings herself as she pursued a Master of Science in Environmental Engineering degree at the University of New Haven, Connecticut. As a new graduate, she reached out to Betsy Lindsay, UltraSystems CEO, and inquired about a position in 2009. Betsy was glad to have her join when she could move to the West Coast, so 12 years later, she has arrived in California and started with our firm this week.
