~ Emily Jorgensen, Conservation Technician for the City of Madison Engineering Division, has a natural affinity for native flora and its importance to the urban environment. Growing up in Hong Kong, Jorgensen was exposed to a concrete jungle and found respite in Wisconsin during summer visits with her family. After six years of visiting, her family moved to Wisconsin permanently and Jorgensen's love for the Midwest's native flora was sparked while attending volunteer days at Pheasant Branch Conservancy.
Jorgensen earned a degree in Environmental Studies and Mandarin Chinese from the University of Wisconsin Madison. After college, she held positions with Madison Audubon Society, Goose Pond Conservancy, Lakeshore Nature Preserve and Good Oak Ecological Services. In 2019, she earned an internship as a conservation intern with the City of Madison Engineering Division where she could use her knowledge to work on the City's stormwater conveyance land in the field.

Jorgensen looks up to strong female leaders such as City's Greenway Vegetation Coordinator Madeline Dumas and Good Oak Ecological Service's Senior Project Manager Raluca Allen who have helped her hone in on her skills as a restoration ecologist while working with the challenges of doing this in urban areas.
Integrating green spaces into urban areas can be difficult but Jorgensen is familiar with this challenge since she was young. She believes it doesn't have to be just concrete or just natural areas; we can merge those two together which helps people's relationship with their surroundings and with nature as well.
The City of Madison is highlighting Jorgensen's work during National Women in Construction Week March 5-11,2023. Even though knowing native species names doesn't come as second nature to most of us, one thing is for certain: appreciation is universal - something that Emily Jorgensen has been able to grow into through her work at the City of Madison.
