Erin is the leader of the Outstanding in Nature program- a program that offers hands-on field courses and subtle ‘coyote’ teaching methods to reconnect youth with the virtues and intricacies of the natural environment. He is passionate about survival skills, nature exploration and building sustainable communities. Having two kids of his own, his focus is in bringing nature back to children’s lives. He currently lives with his partner in Kaslo, BC.
“Raised in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, I developed a close relationship with the land at a young age and was taught to respect and honour the natural world. Years of military service added valuable leadership skills and the ability to communicate and understand group dynamics in adverse conditions. It also sparked a transition away from consumerism and a realization that our social construct have crippled our ability to mimic natural systems which can guide our moral behavior. I’ve come to understand that nature based education is key to restoring balance for people of all ages.”
