President and CEO Great Blue Heron, LLC

I am a founding member of the Alabama State Park Foundation Board. Since our first quarterly meeting, I have championed the cause of increasing the Park System's capacity to perform the third of its three major functions: To acquire and preserve natural areas; to develop, furnish, operate, and maintain recreational facilities; and to extend the public’s knowledge of the state’s natural environment. This photo essay presents observations, reflections, 39 photographs, and two brief videos exemplifying the purpose, passion, and zeal of several Park Naturalists I’ve encountered here in Alabama:  https://lnkd.in/eeiynkBi I offer these observations: 1 Nature education and interpretation are best performed at a sauntering pace. 2. We sauntered if for no purpose other than to discover what we did not anticipate. 3. Sauntering through the forest we discovered treasures sufficient to extend the day and multiply our delight. 4. I pity those trail travelers busied with digital devices and content only to count their steps.
