Lily Storbeck

Butterfly Program Coordinator

MES Program, The Evergreen State College

Lily was raised in Olympia, Washington, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Sound’s forests, mountains, and water. She earned a bachelor’s degree in environmental science at Western Washington University, as well as a two-year certificate in GIS. While in undergrad, Lily discovered her love of food production and governance, using her Honors capstone project to research state and local support programs for regenerative agriculture efforts across Washington State.

Lily participated in the WWU Sustainability Pathways Fellowship in the Methow Valley, where she completed an AmeriCorps service award and an internship with the Methow Salmon Recovery Foundation. Lily also worked with Walters Ag Research, conducting pesticide research trials for blueberry and raspberry growers in Whatcom and Skagit counties.

Lily is currently pursuing a master’s in environmental studies at Evergreen with interests in sustainable agriculture, food policy and governance, and natural resource conservation. She is also expanding her skills in GIS and aerial imagery. Excited to be a part of the SPP program, Lily looks forward to learning from and empowering the butterfly technicians, working with partner organizations, and collaborating with her SPP team members.
