I am a retired Cranbrook Schools science teacher and I was a part-time Interpretive Naturalist with Oakland County Parks. I love to share my life-long, keen enthusiasm for all things science/nature with folks of any age, and aim to make their outdoor experience a treasured one of learning and fun. Through guided questioning, I try to engage participants in making perceptive observations and exciting discoveries while sharing tidbits from my own quite extensive background. I like to enhance my hikes with hands-on learning tools, appropriate artifacts and sometimes special activities, and always welcome additional input from everyone.
