Leading Outdoor Adventures
​
​I believe that the best way to connect with nature is to get outside! Through the North Carolina Zoo, I lead nature hikes, canoe trips, and other outdoor adventure programs. Information on current programs and registration is available here.

Building Hiking Trails

With the North Carolina Zoo's Trail Team, I build and maintain sustainable hiking trails that protect sensitive areas while providing opportunities for hikers to explore the Zoo's natural areas. There are currently 5 miles of trails right next to the Zoo on Purgatory Mountain and 2 miles on Ridges Mountain Preserve. More information on trails is available here.
