👥 Our Team, Collaborators, Supporters & Partners

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” (Margaret Mead)…That’s us together with you!

Earthwise Aware is a volunteer-based 501(c)(3) organization established in early 2016 and officially incorporated as a nonprofit in May 2017. We take great pride in our mission and vision and are dedicated to nurturing it into a vibrant community. Thanks to the unwavering support of a dedicated and expanding group of supporters who share our vision for success, EwA is rapidly evolving. We eagerly anticipate this journey ahead and warmly invite you to join us in our efforts!

EwA Community


EwA thrives as a diverse community of collaborators, participatory scientists, contributors, and partners, all of whom are integral to our organization. Our generous volunteers play a crucial role in shaping EwA’s content by reviewing, editing, and enriching it with their conservation and nature experiences. Their expertise as naturalists, volunteers, travelers, scientists, practitioners, and leaders enriches our collective efforts.

Furthermore, we are deeply grateful for our expanding community of participatory scientists who lend their skills to study and record vital ecological data. They actively co-lead field events, contributing significantly to our mission.
