Elijah earned a bachelor’s degree in Natural Resource Ecology and Management with a concentration in Wildlife Ecology from LSU, and then completed a Graduate Certificate program at the University of Arkansas at Monticello in Waterfowl and Wetland Management. He’s passionate about using land management to advance conservation goals and has experience in agriculture and as a waterfowl manager/wildlife biologist.

Anne Zegers

Joining Manomet in April of 2024 as Sea Run Fisheries Monitoring Coordinator, Anne is based in East Machias, Maine. She works with a diverse array of partners including commercial harvesters, NGOs, and state, tribal, and federal agencies to track the abundance of sea-run river herring across the region and monitor the shifting environmental conditions that impact them.

Raised by biologists in the heart of Eastern Maine’s conservation community, Anne rebelled by spending her college years studying Creative Writing (and Geology) at Cornell College (Mount Vernon, Iowa). After graduating in 2016, and a brief stint as a receptionist, Anne returned to her roots, working in Atlantic Salmon conservation, first with river-restoration group Project S.H.A.R.E., then as a field technician for the Maine Department of Marine Resources’ Bureau of Sea Run Fisheries.

Anne is fascinated by the unique ties binding communities to the landscapes they inhabit, especially the woods, rivers, and rocky coasts of Eastern Maine. In her spare time, Anne explores local history as secretary of the Revolutionary War Reenactors of Downeast Maine, and regularly portrays a British Marine – look, someone’s got to do it – wishing that his fine, red coat wasn’t such a compelling target.

Additionally, Andrea is a photography instructor and has contributed to the editing and publishing nature identification guides and photographic books.

Her journey in bird conservation began in 2008 at Guyra Paraguay, where she played various roles over 10 years. She participated in several Neotropical Waterbird Censuses in Paraguay, served as the digital magazine editor, and worked in biological monitoring projects and environmental education in rural and indigenous communities. In 2013, she was selected by Ducks Unlimited Mexico for the Biodiversity Management and Conservation Diploma. She also worked for WWF Paraguay as a Communications Officer, leading national campaigns on reforestation in the Atlantic Forest, protection of water resources, and the fight against deforestation.

Lily Green

Lily Green has recently joined Manomet as a Science Educator and will be working with the team in our educational programming and outreach, including our ongoing work with Brockton High’s Envirothon Team and the Green Team. As an alumnus of Brockton High School, she brings her experience working in both of those groups during her own high school tenure!

Lily earned her B.S. in Chemistry at UMass Lowell in May, 2020, and a M.S. in Environmental Sciences from UMass Boston in December, 2022. Her master’s thesis revolved around creating workshops with two underserved coastal communities in Massachusetts to identify their major environmental priorities, and how both their cultural values and relationships to their land shaped those priorities.

Outside of work, Lily enjoys figure skating, country line dancing, and reading. She’s excited to be outside teaching environmental-related lessons and learning about the land surrounding Manomet’s HQ.
