Glorianna Davenport
Glorianna is co-founder (with Alex Hackman and Hyun Yeul Lee) and current president of Living Observatory (LO), a public-interest learning collaborative whose mission is to document the arc of change on wetland restorations of retired cranberry farmland in Massachusetts, and develop experiences that enhance public wonder and understanding of wetland ecology.
She is a trustee of Tidmarsh Farms, Inc., the organization that owned and ran the 610 acre Tidmarsh Farms cranberry farm and was an advocate for the conservation and restoration of the farm. From 2008-2017, she participated as the owner's representative in the protection and restoration of what is now the Mass Audubon Tidmarsh Wildlife Sanctuary, the largest wetland restoration in Massachusetts.. With her Evan Schulman, she also worked on the protection and acquisition of Foothills Preserve by the Town of Plymouth.
- How do we grow a community of learners who are interested in measuring, documenting, and sharing the arc of change that occurs following the wetland restoration of former cranberry farmland?
- How can we assess and value the impact that wetland restoration of former cranberry farmland has on the development of more resilient landscapes?
- How can we better integrate scientific data with media in order to document, weave, and share stories about the arc of change?
