Becky Cushing '13
Becky is Regional Director of Mass Audubon’s west region. She oversees 19 wildlife sanctuaries and all programming and partnerships, doing everything from land protection and habitat management to education and strategic planning. Some of her most rewarding projects have been interdisciplinary collaborations that engage new audiences in conservation work, such as with Tanglewood, Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, and The Mount (Edith Wharton's estate). Natural history, problem-solving, fundraising, creative thinking and lots of other Field Naturalist skills have converged in Becky's multifaceted career in the best possible way.
