Mary Chisholm

I serve as the Central Arizona Conservation Alliance (CAZCA) Engagement Coordinator, and in that role, I engage with partners, organize outreach events and community science projects, facilitate meetings, and support initiatives that advance CAZCA’s mission and support the Regional Open Space Strategy (ROSS). I obtained my undergraduate degree in Environmental Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. After graduating, I moved to Arizona to pursue my M.S. in Plant Biology and developed a passion for conserving the Sonoran Desert. I am also passionate about native plants, environmental advocacy, and collaborative conservation work.
