CancelRaised on a midwest farm, I have lived in and explored the Rockies of Colorado, Montana, and New Mexico for over 30 years. I have worked for the U.S. Forest Service and an archaeological research center and served on the Boards of the Fort Collins Audubon Society and the Gardens on Spring Creek.
I’ve always been drawn to nature, growing up in New England, working in Minnesota and then retiring to Colorado. Since 2010, I’ve enjoyed leading nature programs highlighting the beauty and biodiversity of our Natural Areas.
