Maddie Dong

Maddie grew up in Palo Alto, CA where she developed a passion for rock climbing and the greater outdoors. She earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Natural Resources Policy & Management and a minor in Sustainability from Oregon State University in 2022 and decided to move back home to the San Francisco Bay Area. An experience performing Taylor’s checkerspot butterfly habitat restoration in college fueled her dedication for pollinator conservation. Maddie is ecstatic about engaging her community in pollinator issues and starting her career in conservation.
