I am a Southern Appalachian Naturalist.  I completed my certification at Tremont Institute in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park.  http://www.gsmit.org.

In Sept. 2012, I completed my Environmental Education certification with North Carolina through the Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs.  http://www.eenorthcarolina.org

For the past two years, I have focused my study in nature on trees.  You can read more about how I have come to get to know the trees at my blog.  http://ayearwiththetrees.blogspot.com

Come take my tree classes and really get to know the trees!  See the schedule at http://ayearwiththetrees.blogspot.com.
