Nebraska Department of Agriculture Announces New Entomology and Plant Pest Program Manager

Hello! My name is Natalia Bjorklund, and I am the new Entomology and Plant Pest Program Manager for Nebraska Department of Agriculture. I have experience and education in both horticulture and entomology. I started my career with landscape maintenance/install, worked at botanic gardens around the country, UNL Extension, and then most recently the Entomology department where I focused on pollinators and landscape ornamentals. Originally from central Nebraska, my husband, a diesel mechanic, and I, along with our dog, reside in Lincoln while we search for that elusive affordable acreage.

I started with NDA in late February, so am just settling in. If you ever have any questions, my contact information is natalia.bjorklund@nebraska.gov, and phone numbers are (402) 471-6847 (office) and (402) 429-2484 (work cell).
