The Fellow will directly contribute to the planning and implementation of urban conservation projects that convert blighted parcels into pollinator habitats, community gardens, and accessible green infrastructure. Another key accomplishment will be the Fellow’s role in strengthening community-driven engagement. By working alongside residents, schools, community partners, and municipal stakeholders, the Fellow will help ensure that project outcomes reflect local priorities.

The Fellow will also have supported and enhanced Detroit Hives’ Bee The Change and Bee In Motion programs—contributing to youth education, workforce exposure, and leadership development. Internally, the Fellow’s accomplishments will include strengthened organizational capacity through improved project documentation, impact tracking, and systems that support scale and replication.
