About Nature Investigations, LLC
Investigating Nature and Innovation Together
I’m an environmental educator and interpretive naturalist with experience in nonprofits, governments and now my own company, where I lead hands-on nature programs, including Nature Journaling, to inspire deeper connections with the outdoors. I also write Reflections from the Field, a newsletter for environmental educators that explores creative strategies for their work (fieldreflections.substack.com). I also lead workshops for interpreters on how to navigate the environmental and ethical implications of using AI by creating workplace policies for its use.
I look forward to investigating nature with you!

Outdoor Interpretive Programs
Investigate the natural world through guided exploration and hands-on discovery with programs that include storytelling, science, and sensory experiences for all ages.
Creating AI Policies for Interpreters and Environmental Educators
AI is transforming workplaces at a rapid pace while using tremendous amounts of energy. But AI, like any tool, requires training to understand how to use the tool and its implications. Nature Investigations offers workshops for interpretive naturalists and environmental educators on how to develop policies for AI utilization leading to a greater understanding of how to promote environmental sustainability and ethical use of this tool.
