"Menneskeheten har aldri vært mer frakoblet naturen enn den er akkurat nå. Behovet for medfølende ledere som er kloke til skogens veier, har aldri vært viktigere. _cc781905-5cde-319 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_Barna våre er avhengige av at vi forbereder dem på en usikker fremtid, og det er dystert å forestille seg et liv uten natur. _cc781905-5cde-35b-134-denne tiden vår er den dårlige planten. will grow a future for all life on this planet." _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_

Ricardo Sierra
Ricardo's journey into nature education began in 1985 as a summer camp counselor, augmenting his own wilderness skills training that continues today. Over the last 35 years, he has led, taught, directed and facilitated programs in summer camps, day long workshops, intensive trainings, after school programs and festivals, (and others).
He's an advocate for getting our youth connected to nature and brings a wealth of knowledge hard won from decades of experience.
He enjoys helping people build their own uniquely inspired programs and building positive mentoring relationships with anyone who is passionate about helping the world be a better place.
Listen to Ricardo's TEDx Talk on Saving the iGeneration from Nature Deficit Disorder
Ricardo shares the concept of the 'Natural Advantage' , which is so important to help all of us mitigate the residual effects of the Digital Age and what we can do to help ensure that future generations can build a lasting connection to the natural world.
