Elijah Wojohn

Elijah is part of the Resilient Habitats group and leading our efforts in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. He is focused on working with partners, stakeholders and farmers in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley and Chenier Plains to help create habitat, primarily in the fall, for shorebirds that use agricultural land. He is also working on our broader efforts to build partnerships with the public, manage and grow the Louisiana Shorebird Alliance, and monitor the effectiveness of our work with expanding ISS volunteers.

Elijah grew up in Zachary, LA. Elijah enjoys family adventures in nature and is an avid conservationist, hunter, outdoorsman, and gardener. 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. Elijah is currently living in Louisiana with his wife, two kids, two pups, and a flock of chickens.

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.

Andrea Ferreira

Andrea is from Paraguay, a country that she refers to as “the heart of South America”. She holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental sciences, a Diploma in Natural Resource Management and Conservation from the Autonomous University of Yucatán, and a Master’s in Media Psychology from the University of Salford Manchester (UK).

As Manomet’s Science Communication Manager, she works to ensure Manomet’s science content is accurate, accessible, and compelling. She leads the organization’s social media strategy and supports communications for the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network (WHSRN). Her work highlights partner achievements, strengthens strategic engagement, and aligns storytelling with Manomet’s conservation goals.

She brings over 15 years of experience in wildlife conservation, built at the intersection of environmental science, ornithology, and digital communication. Her path began in 2008 at Guyra Paraguay, where she spent a decade supporting field work, waterbird censuses, supporting biological monitoring projects, and delivering environmental education in rural and indigenous communities. She also served as Communications Officer for WWF Paraguay, driving national campaigns on reforestation, freshwater protection, and forest conservation.

Before joining Manomet, Andrea worked for the World Land Trust as Social Media Officer. As a visual storyteller, she has documented conservation projects in Colombia and Paraguay, contributed to nature guides and photographic books, and has been teaching photography since 2009.

Passionate about connecting people to nature, Andrea uses evidence-based communication strategies to inspire action for conservation across the hemisphere.

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.
