Meet The Team

Judy has always loved spending time in the great outdoors. Despite growing up running through the woods and climbing trees, she found her naturalist tendencies peaked in the middle of Canada’s largest urban centre where she first started tracking coyotes, foraging medicinal plants and starting fires with friction. Helping people remember or rekindle their love of nature through fun, engaging activities is her passion. Some of her favorite outdoor activities include trail hikes, mushroom discoveries, singing around a fire, cross-country skiing and cycling. 

Born in the embrace of the Himalayas and now nestled in the enchanting landscapes of Nova

She believes that every sunrise paints a portrait of hope, and every whisper of the wind is a reminder of our responsibility to protect our precious planet.
