She has helped to design and build a forest classroom, nature playground, and Forest Friday program at her local elementary school, and worked as a lead educator for numerous place-based after school and school-day programs.
In addition to being a community builder and outdoor educator, Alice is a registered architect, expert-level wanderer, and parent of 3 nature-loving kids.

He earned his degree in Wildlife Biology and Conservation from the University of New Hampshire and spent the past four years with New Hampshire Fish & Game, where he worked on habitat management and a variety of wildlife and forestry research projects. His experience includes work with moose, rare turtles, butterflies, and the New England Cottontail, helping to conserve some of the region’s most important species and habitats.
