“What a country chooses to save is what a country chooses to say about itself.” -Mollie Beattie

Inspired by nature, the Mollie shawl was named for Mollie Beattie, the first female Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Mollie’s legacy as a fierce conservationist left a mark on the physical landscape of the United States and also the political terrain of conservation ethics.

In lieu of a launch discount, 25% of proceeds from the Mollie Shawl will be donated to the Environmental Defense Fund through July 24th, 2021.
