Last month I was able to once again join forces with author, guide, and storyteller Andy… Continue reading Continuing the Fight to Protect the Arctic Refuge

Arctic Refuge Protection Movement Update

In D.C. with my partner Jillian, our at the time 10 week old baby (Mika), and other allies/co-conspirators including the Alaska Wilderness League, lobbying for the Arctic Refuge. May, 2018

Also, more than 1 million estimated comments were made on the latest DEIS related to development in the Refuge, and the vast majority are all on the protection side.… Continue reading Arctic Refuge Protection Movement Update

WILD TURNS IN AMERICA’S SERENGETI

Flying into the heart of the Hulahula River and the Arctic Refuge

In D.C. with my partner Jillian, our at the time 10 week old baby (Mika), and other allies/co-conspirators including the Alaska Wilderness League, lobbying for the Arctic Refuge. May, 2018

I am headed back to the Arctic Refuge this month, to what I and many others consider one of the last great wild places left on Earth.
