Director of Planning & Construction
North of the River Recreation and Park District
Bakersfield, California
Steph Thisius, PLA, ASLA, has spent over a decade working as the Director of Planning and Construction at North of the River Recreation and Park District (NOR). As a licensed landscape architect practicing in California for almost two decades, both in the public and private sectors, she finds the most joy in designing projects that have a big impact in small communities. Along with maintaining NOR's development standards, she oversees the District's Master Plan, land acquisition, planning, landscape architecture and construction for all Capital Improvement Projects. Her additional experience in contracts, bidding & procurement, grant writing & administration, stormwater management and operations & maintenance brings a team-oriented, common sense approach for annual and long-term planning projects. Outside of work, Steph enjoys time with her son and daughter, writing, playing with plants, crafting, traveling and the lost arts of home economics.
