Before working for Clemson Extension, Mallory was the Head Naturalist at Fripp Island Resort for a few years, where she discovered her love for alligators and the Lowcountry.

MALLORY MAHER, CLEMSON

WHY - Aldo Leopold once said, “there are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot. I for one, cannot.”  I hope by serving on the SCWF Board, I can share Mr. Leopold’s message to as many people as possible, and find ways for the public to realize that they cannot live in a world without wild things as well.  I especially want to share my passion for wildlife with youth and connect them to the outdoors at a young age, so that they carry that passion with them for their entire lives.

BIO - Mallory is originally from Pittsburgh, PA, but has been in South Carolina since she graduated from Clemson University in 2012 with her Master’s degree in Agricultural Education and a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology. She enjoys being outdoors, hiking, hunting, and spending time with her 2-year-old golden retriever, Covey and her fiancé. Mallory currently as the 4-H agent for Clemson Extension in Oconee County.  She is actively involved in the SC 4-H Jr. Naturalist Program, SC Wildlife Habitat Education Program (WHEP), South Carolina Adopt-a-Stream, and Master Wildlifer.  Mallory is also a South Carolina Master Naturalist.
