Hi everybody! I am a Colorado Native but wasn't able to really start enjoying the outdoors until College at CU Boulder. There, my love for hiking, climbing, and other miscellaneous outdoor activities really prospered. Spending time in the outdoors is one of my favorite pastimes, but I especially love it when I am able to share it with others.

I was raised in Boulder, leaving for a few years after high school for the usual stuff: college, bumming around, working at this and that. Came back to Boulder and eventually started my own little welding and blacksmithing business, building railings and gates all around the greater Boulder area, and repairing and/or fabricating any number of improbable contraptions. In 2020 I retired, and am now a man of leisure, enjoying the mountains and prairie with my wife. No pets, no kids.

I grew up wandering the wilds of North Western Colorado and was always fascinated with how the world works. I moved to Minnesota for college and studied Biology then got a job in outdoor education in New England, I was hooked. Exploring and sharing outdoors every day was a dream. I moved back to Minnesota for a Naturalist training program and then to Illinois for grad school in Education. I returned to Colorado in 2006 to continue sharing and learning about nature every day!

My family moved from the Midwest to Wheatridge in 1962, and then to Boulder in 1965. To say I’ve seen a lot of change in this area is an incredible understatement. This reflection makes me feel a responsibility to honor and care for our little part of this big, beautiful world. When I learned about the BOCO volunteer naturalist program I was selfishly excited to grab an opportunity to learn more about this county that I love, and hopefully pass on information to spark a love of BOCO's nature.

I’m a Boulder native with family roots in Mexico. I grew up spending summers on my grandfather’s farm in Chihuahua and was fortunate enough to be exposed to the natural resources of Colorado through school trips and summer camps as a teen. All of these experiences helped foster an appreciation and love for the outdoors in me. I love to hike, camp, fish and birdwatch, and most importantly, I like doing those things with people who haven’t or don’t do them often.

Wow, over 17 years with BCPOS. The most fun piece is identifying clouds and weather that I explore in my glider. I must admit I love to feed and groom the Belgians at the AHF, too.

This magnificent nature has been a sacred sanctuary for me since a young age, reflecting back to me and guiding me along the way. This intimate love affair, combined with my passion for serving people in various capacities, including mending the relationship between the human and the more-than-human-world, led me to become a Forest Therapy Guide and to begin my heart-nourishing relationship with BCPOS by first becoming involved through the Volunteer Ranger Corps program.

Sally T - Volunteer Naturalist

Growing up in New England, I spent my childhood outdoors exploring beaches and waters to discover new creatures and investigate whatever washed ashore. In the woods, I enjoyed hiking, climbing and exploring what lay beneath the leaves. As an adult, I lived along Lake Ontario and in the Midwest becoming acquainted with new varieties of flora and fauna. I moved to Colorado 13 years ago and enjoy hiking, biking, skiing, and learning about the wildlife with whom we share our open space.

I’m a Colorado native; I grew up in Golden and moved to Greeley to attend UNC. I earned my undergraduate and MA degrees in history. That led me to museums, where I’ve worked for over 20 years. As of December of 2010 I’m excited to have Boulder County Parks and Open Space as my workplace. There’s fun, constant learning, and variety in being the Cultural History Program Coordinator; I get to work with amazing and talented colleagues and volunteers as we share the history of the area.
