Our Common Nature

About me

Location	Canada
Introduction	I am a researcher and occasional academic. My passion lies in understanding the importance of nature in human experience, and how that can be applied on the ground in everyday circumstances. My book, "Field Exercises: How Veterans Are Healing Themselves through Farming and Outdoor Activities," tells the stories of military veterans who are turning to farming, gardening, hiking, canoeing, and climbing in the mountains to find relief from stressful and traumatic military experiences. Field Exercises is scheduled for release in July 2014 with New Society Publishers. For more information, visit www.fieldexercises.com. I also enjoy playing with my preschooler, reading, baking, knitting – and obviously spending time outdoors, especially walking and hiking, cross-country skiing, and gardening.
