Hi and Ahoy!
My wife and I are naturalists, working to help families, children and adults, to get outdoors together, to explore and experience nature and wildlife.
We work through area parks, schools, libraries, and youth groups (Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Campfire and others.)
Our day jobs are in Information technology (Process Control, Data Warehouse), but we feel children need to get away from technology, and grow up -playing- more.
We promote the work of Richard Louv, "Last Child in the Woods", Dr. Irene Pepperberg "Alex and Me", and Temple Grandin, "Animals Make us Human."
We use our website & FB to help these efforts. We hope you'll come explore...
