Christopher Davis

 

Christopher Davis is a passionate sustainability advocate hailing from Compton, CA driven to ameliorate the impact climate change has on kids by accelerating the adoption of renewable energy systems via educational institutions, while incorporating hands-on STEAM education into secondary and collegiate curricula, especially those in disadvantaged and low-income communities. He is currently a project manager for the renewable energy consulting firm, TRC Companies, and has formally served as Community Coordinator for Color Compton & Assistant Curator at the Compton Art & History Museum. 

Most recently, he curated "We Are The Land: Stories from the Streets and Soil,” an exhibition at the Compton Museum examining Compton’s environmental history, including the consequences of industrialization and environmental neglect, and celebrating the community’s ongoing work toward a healthier and more just future. Through artwork, archival materials, storytelling, and public programming, the exhibition invited residents to see environmental issues not as something distant from their daily lives, but as part of the history, identity, and future of their community.

He is an alumnus of San Diego State University, where he earned his degree in Environmental Science, with minors in Education and Political Science, and he is currently pursuing his Masters in Energy Systems Management at the University of San Francisco. Chris is a devout Christian, ardent Lego enthusiast, and an avid fan of manga, movies, & amusement parks.

Mountain Watershed Association began its life around a kitchen table. The organization was founded in 1994 to oppose an underground coal mine proposal in the Indian Creek Watershed in the Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania. MWA’s input and organized opposition resulted in the denial of the permit. MWA’s board of directors and dedicated community members realized that to restore the watershed to a viable community, they would have to address the legacy of more than 150 years of extraction and disinvestment in our rural Appalachian region. Since then, MWA has restored more than 70 percent of the Indian Creek Watershed and prevented countless sources of additional pollution in the broader Youghiogheny River Watershed. The organization has expanded to eleven full-time employees, a 17-person volunteer Board of Directors, and more than 2500 members and supporters.

I have over 20 years informal and formal teaching experience. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Wildlife Ecology. I taught at an Environmental Center, Zoologicial Park, Museum of Natural History, Boys and Girls Club, and a British International school. My focus has been educating elementary aged children but has also included other age groups and adult/public groups as well. I am an amateur naturalist and have a passion for nature stewardship and hands-on experiental learning. My friendly, bubbly personality allows me to keep the interest of anyone I am trying to educate. I also have some field experience--at NCSU my internship (1992) was focused on researching and protecting Red Cockaded Woodpecker populations in the Sandhills of NC.

I am a wellness professional and retreat designer working to build spaces where natural remedies, therapeutic practices, and environmental connection come together. My focus is on helping people restore a sense of alignment and wholeness by reintegrating nature into their healing journeys. I'm drawn to environmental education as a way to deepen this work—grounding therapeutic practice in ecological literacy and a genuine relationship with the land.
