As a member of EarthShare Texas, Travis Audubon receives support from the nonprofit federation through unrestricted funding and capacity support. We are thrilled to be a part of their Green Leaders Fellowship 2025 cohort, and it is a privilege to introduce you to the Green Leader who will be amplifying the work of our organization over the course of the Fellowship.

Mary Michael will be working as an intern with our Blair Woods Sanctuary, assisting with land management tasks of Blair Woods, as well as the education programming that is scheduled on the property. She will work to promote desired native plant growth, remove and/or treat non-native and native invasive plant species, propagate desired native plant species, maintain trails, grounds, and facilities, lead volunteer workdays, and conduct guided tours of Blair Woods.

This initiative seeks to expand opportunities for early-career environmentalists while simultaneously addressing capacity limitations for nonprofits – a nuanced solution that addresses Green Workforce constraints while building the green leadership pipeline.
