Urban Forester

Education: 
B.S., Forestry and Environmental Conservation, Clemson University

 
 

Jessica graduated from Clemson University in December 2021 with a degree in Forestry and joined Sabine & Waters, Inc. in April 2022. She is a Registered Forester and an ISA Certified Arborist who manages urban forestry projects, tree inventories, and herbicide applications. Jessica holds both forestry and aquatic herbicide licenses and is a Clemson Master Pond Manager. In addition to her urban forestry work, she assists with stormwater inspections, tree planting, timber sales, and prescribed burning. Her diverse experience allows her to support a wide range of forestry and natural resource management projects.  

Jessica decided to study forestry thanks to her dad, who owns and manages a timber farm in Edgefield, South Carolina. Some of her favorite memories growing up are visiting logging sites and prescribed burns on the property with her dad. Since joining our team, Jessica has moved to James Island, SC and spends her free time surfing at Folly Beach and taking naps with her dog, Layla.
