Biography:

Dr. Anna Osiecka joined the forestry program at the NFREC in Quincy as a Biological Scientist in 2001 and was promoted to Senior Biological Scientist in 2006.  She has been involved in research and extension in various aspects of forestry with an emphasis on the evaluation of the effectiveness of forest fertilization best management practices (BMP’s) in protecting ground water quality.

Dr. Osiecka brings to the forestry program her diverse international horticultural experience.  For eleven years she conducted research in the field of plant tissue culture and was responsible for plant patent applications and trademark registrations at Oglesby Plants International in Altha, Florida.  Before coming to Florida in 1990, Anna worked at research institutions and commercial companies in her native Poland, the Netherlands, Germany and New Caledonia.
