I have been helping to build what has become the Ecoculture Reforestation Group since 2011 and working on ecological restoration projects since 2001. I design and coordinate restoration projects, scientific investigations, and outreach programs. Our program involves a creative team, a science team, an outreach team, and an implementation team.  In addition, I work around the globe with communities to develop new approaches for conservation planning and implementation. In these efforts, I am called an Imagineer by my daughter, I am the spirit animal of Tracy in Sayulita, and Lee Man Fong from Singapore labels me a gonzo environmentalist.
