Vivian Wang is a Schwarz Legal Fellow and a member of the Litigation Team at Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in New York. Prior to joining NRDC, she clerked for Judge Leonard Sand on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. She is a graduate of Columbia University, Oxford University, and Columbia Law School.
While working with NRDC to remove a potentially toxic bee pesticide from the market, Wang learned about the importance of bees to our ecosystem and was inspired to become a beeekper. After beekeeping in New York City was legalized in April, she helped install three hives of honeybees on NRDC's office rooftop in Chelsea. Since then, NRDC bees have been buzzing around Chelsea, pollinating the flowers and trees in neighboring green roofs and nearby parks.
