Reed Lievers

Reed fostered his love for nature at an early age, hiking around the hills of western San Diego county with his family and spending time in his grandparents' garden. He followed his interest in environmental protection to UC Berkeley's College of Natural Resources, where he graduated in 2020 with degrees in Society and Environment and in Geography, hoping to make a lasting difference in the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss. His older sister's fascination and affection for bees and beekeeping introduced him to the world of pollinators and the campaigns for their protection, and inspired him to dedicate his early career to their protection. In his free time, Reed can be found exploring Bay Area hiking trails, playing board games with friends, and enjoying a round of disc golf. He is thrilled to be working on behalf of pollinators and the ecosystems they support.
