The different sandstone formations that form the tapestry of landforms we find in many parts of the foothills tell a story. Explore how uplift, erosion, and time have uncovered these natural beauties and the unique nature these areas hold. Bring along hiking poles and sturdy boots as you hike up the trail with volunteer naturalists to observe the hogbacks and valleys from above.
Minimum Participants: 5Registration is required for this activity.
General Info
I enjoy being outdoors and delight in the harmony that nature’s diversity brings. As a volunteer naturalist, I hope to promote an increased appreciation of our natural environment and how important this connection is to individual and community well-being.
I am filled with awe and wonder when in the out of doors. Nature brings out the best in me – reverence, curiosity, wonder and humility. I love to hike, camp, flyfish, ski, and sometimes do nothing, but take it all in. My greatest joy is doing these activities with family and friends as it deepens the connection. As a VN I desire to instill a sense of wonder and caring through education to others in the hope that they are inspired through nature and may also be moved to conserve it.
I got hooked on being in nature as a kid wandering the palmetto scrub and backwaters of west coast Florida in search of critters and fossils. Though a third-generation geologist, I’ve never earned a dime with my geology degree. For 3 years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ghana, I taught secondary school geology, chemistry, math, and general science. A second degree in graphic design led to a career in technical and scientific illustration. I have been volunteering as a naturalist since 1976.
