Nature Walk and Bird Watching
Gerald Cajolo always wants to learn more about nature and how to preserve it. He doesn’t want to enjoy it alone! Showing it to others and helping them to be aware and prepared was his favorite task.
Camping
Mark Tayo is in charge of our camping activities. The only time you’ll see him around the office is when he’s instructing classes. Otherwise look for him on a campsite near you.
