Molly Travis is supporting the research and education program in California, based in Humboldt County.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies with a focus on agroecology from the University of California Santa Cruz, and also earned a Permaculture Design Certificate.
While working for land management agencies across the Pacific West and Southwest, Molly spent extensive time in the field performing ecological and recreational data collection. This data was instrumental in developing funding priorities and analyzing visitor use impacts on wilderness areas.
After gaining more financial and administrative experience working for non-profits, Molly wanted to return to her agricultural roots. She is excited to coordinate projects and develop partnerships with members of the seed growing and organic farming communities.
Molly has a personal and professional interest in promoting local food, supporting Indigenous food producers, and reducing food waste.
