Stewardship Organizer
Vonne Davien Wilson (she/her) is the Stewardship Organizer at Guardians of Flushing Bay. Born and raised in New York City, Vonne Davien has had a deep love for green spaces and waterbodies, as well as the arts and social activism her entire life. She traces her passions to her mother's, grandparents', and their community's history of activism through the Clay Avenue Block Association in the 1980s, where they transformed an abandoned lot into what is now known as Peace Park. An alumna of Bard College ('24), Vonne Davien brings to GoFB a range of experiences from her work over the last decade in entertainment and performance, academic scholarship, laboratory and natural sciences, the youth development and nonprofit sector, and the outdoor and environmental restoration fields. In her role with GoFB, Vonne Davien works to deepen existing green infrastructure partnerships, establish new sidewalk stewardship collaborations, develop pedagogical/learning materials for GoFB's programming, maintain rain gardens in the Flushing Waterways watershed, and ultimately support our coalition-building and advocacy toward a healthy and equitably accessible Flushing Waterways.
