About me

Gender Male
Location United States
Introduction I help protect plants, animals and their habitats, as Chairman of the 1,000 acre Pawling Nature Reserve of The Nature Conservancy. I love finding wonderful things in nature and sharing those things with others. As a child, growing a TickleMe Plant and seeing it move when tickled, helped to get me excited about gardening, nature and science. I became a science teacher and have taught for 35 years sending home thousands of TickleMe Plants with my students. In addition I help my community by being involved in environmental issues.
