Private Naturalist Programs
Private Redwood National Park Tours
Utilize my years of knowledge and passion for the forest to ensure you have the Redwood National Park Experience you are dreaming of! This area can be very hard to find what you are looking for, due to the many long years of complex conservation history, and the emerging ecology of the ancient Redwood Forest, Sequoia Sempervirens.
Compiling Prairie Creek Redwoods, Jedidiah Smith Redwoods, and Del Norte Redwoods, the complex of Redwood National and State Parks can be difficult to find the best sections!
A Naturalist Guide will ensure you have the best experience, and find what you were dreaming of your Redwood National Park experience.
Tell me a bit about your desires for the visit, the location you are staying near, and I can create a unique plan to suit your interests, time, and physical abilities!
With so many different groves, such deep ecology, and too many trails to decide upon, let me take the hassle of planning the perfect adventure off your plate!
Program Fee: $250 per group for a Half Day Tour up to 7 people
For groups larger than 7, please inquire first
Guided Forest Therapy Experiences
Known also as "Forest Bathing" or Shin-rin Yoku as it was originally stated in Japan, where the practice began. The translation would be better stated: "To take in the forest environment." There is no swimsuit required, nor actual bathing.
The goal of a Forest Therapy Guided Walk is to allow our minds to reset, refocus, and refresh. As a Certified Forest Therapy Guide, I will lead your group through a series of iniatives to open our senses and slow our minds to better take in the benefits the Forest can offer to us.
This is not a strenuous walk. In fact, we do not go very far at all, and can be catered to anyone's physical needs, including Wheelchair based.
This is not a typical Eco-Tour where I would discuss Natural History, Identify Plants and Animals, and things of that nature.
After our time together, you will have a deeper understanding, and a "toolbox" of sorts, that you can use to further practice Forest Therapy on your own.
