About Joshua
It was at age 11 when Joshua decided to be an environmental educator, beginning as a naturalist for his Boy Scout troop. From that point on, Joshua has shared his passion for Earth's life and has inspired advocacy for conservation of our natural resources. People that engage with his open, warm personality find themselves realizing that they too are a part of nature, and whatever they do to impact water, air, and earth, they do to themselves. Joshua's lifelong goal is to inspire a Culture of Conservation beginning with this understanding, and providing intimate experiences that provide an everlasting connection with nature.
