  • “At an early age, my father & grandfather introduced me to the Creator and His creation, and encouraged me to get to know Both of them well. That continues to be the journey of a lifetime!

  • “My love and need for wild places runs deep. I look for the back forty, the outer rim, the places everyone else isn’t willing to go. I want places that make you work to get to them, the more remote the better. I drank from the same creek as wolves, shared tundra with caribou, fished the same river as grizzlies. Wild places speak to my most primal self, nourish and restore my soul, and bring me deep joy. I feel most alive. I feel small. I see and feel God most clearly in these places and I’m grateful to be in a world where they exist” – Lauren Hoffman

  • “There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot.” – Aldo Leopold

  • The Mountains are calling and I must go.” – John Muir

  • “I am grateful to be alive, to walk the land, to carry a stick in my hand, explore mysteries, to breathe with the trees, listen to birds and the breeze.  Life is a gift. Breathe it in, Drink it up, be full, the land takes care of us, even when we have forgotten how to take care of Her, but she will teach us how, those of us who listen.” – Callie Russell 

  • “We as humans are an inexorable part of nature, and we need to do all we can to be the best stewards of the wild resources we enjoy and rely on.” – Jordan Jonas

  • “Beauty is Goodness made manifest to the senses.” – Dallas Willard

  • “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” – Albert Einstein
