Rowena Conahan co-founded and directed Nature Learning Community, a thriving outdoors education program, for ten years.

Every day was chock full of thrilling discoveries and gentle adventures. Now the fun is coming for you!

- Guidance on how to tell stories and lead activities.
- Abundant insight into what it takes to support a healthy nature-connected community (large or small).
The campfire is lit, and the folks are gathering up. With Fuzzy Caterpillar in your backpack, you’ll be ready to host!
