Beth Brown serves as the Director of Audubon’s Delaware River Watershed Program, based in Philadelphia. In this role, Beth works to bring Audubon’s vision for a healthier watershed for birds and people to life by leading a team of technical and policy staff and by partnering with local Audubon chapters and state offices throughout the watershed.

Beth joined Audubon in 2019 and brings more than a decade of environmental experience to her position at Audubon. Her deep knowledge of conservation issues in the Delaware River watershed was gained through several years in private legal practice, legal and advocacy roles at the nonprofit Delaware Riverkeeper Network, and internships with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Most recently, she spent five years with Thomson Reuters, where she oversaw a suite of environmental and energy law news resources.

Beth holds a Bachelor of Science in biology from Muhlenberg College and a Juris Doctor degree from The George Washington University Law School.
