Molly Ancel

Outreach & Engagement Manager




Biography

Molly leads CalTrout’s outreach and engagement program which aims to create opportunities for local communities to connect with CalTrout’s restoration work across the state. Molly works from the belief that land health is community health, and vice versa. 

Molly gained her B.A. in Indigenous studies from the University of British Columbia, an experience that deeply impacted her professional and personal trajectory toward creating place-based commitments to land and people. 

A chance encounter with a logo on an interpretative sign while knee deep in Hat Creek put CalTrout on Molly’s radar, and the rest is history. 

When not at work, Molly is likely exploring forgotten reservoirs or weird plots of public land and tinkering on her many unfinished projects.
