Molly Peach Mayhew

Molly Peach Mayhew, a 2018 Vision Fellow, earned a master’s in marine conservation at Victoria University in Wellington, NZ. When she was awarded her Vision Fellowship, The Trustees of Reservations granted her a sabbatical to take the time away from work to earn this degree. Molly is the Islands Education Manager with The Trustees where she runs a place-based education program primarily focused on marine and coastal topics. Molly returned to the island at the onset of the pandemic and had to adapt her programming to a purely virtual realm. The online lessons Molly created can be found here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9lEvnhY6-ZRtZXtT75C0uSaIxvCgOlIa

Additionally, Molly usually runs a summer high school internship program. For 2020, she was still able to offer a smaller version of the same internship in a safe way. Molly continues to work with the Island schools to provide outdoor programming, both on school grounds and at Trustees’ properties. On a personal note, Molly and her husband, Matt, welcomed their first baby at the end of November 2020!

Molly holds a B.A. in Environmental Studies, Environmental Nonfiction Writing and Spanish, from Middlebury College.
