I live in NH and enjoy the outdoors primarily in MA, NH, and VT. My favorites for exploring and discovery are funga, ferns, herptiles, lichens, and trees.

My naturalist focus areas are biodiversity education, conservation, and watershed ecology.

My in-nature activities are hiking, swimming, and freshwater fishing.

In April 2022, I published the book: "53 With a Tree: Family-friendly Hiking in New Hampshire's Town Forests."

The book provides descriptions and excursions in more than 50 town forests and their hiking trails, covering all 10 of New Hampshire’s counties. Town forests and conservation lands are identified with locations, forest data and history, hiking trails, and nearby places of interest.

I am currently working on my second book which is about hiking New England's bogs and fens. The book title is: A Bog's Life: 37 Bogs to Discover and Explore Throughout New England. Planned availability for A Bog's Life is October 2023.
