After 18 years as a public servant (National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service), I left the agencies to teach environmnetal education full time. After another 18 years of doing just that, the bottom has now fallen out of my funding, so I'm back to rangering again! My husband and I also farm organically, with the help of our mules, and have homesteaded in the upper Skagit (near North Cascades National Park)for almost 30 years. Vistors are always welcome!
