About Liz Burroughs
Liz earned Master’s Degrees in Forestry and Environmental Management from Duke University’s School of the Environment in 2000. She worked as the Stewardship Manager at the Forest Society of Maine, a statewide land trust based in Bangor. In 2012, she earned a second Master’s degree in Math and Science Education from the University of Maine, and taught math and ecology in Maine public high schools before joining the Chewonki faculty.
Before Chewonki
Liz is thrilled to be returning to Chewonki 27 years after attending Maine Coast Semester in its inaugural year. Since then, she has travelled the world and called many places home, but has settled in coastal Maine because of a love for its woods, waters, and people.
In the Community
Liz loves to travel with her daughter, particularly in Maine’s northern forest and in Central America. Liz keeps bees (the mathematicians of the insect world), is an avid knitter, and also enjoys origami.
