Meet Your Guide

Hi! My name is Cypress 

As a naturalist guide and science communicator, my goal is simple: connect people with nature.

​

So they might want to conserve it someday.

So they can lead happier, healthier lives.

So they can experience the deep satisfaction of understanding the world around us.

 

I do this through immersive tours, community events, custom experiences, and real, human conversations.

I look forward to exploring with you soon!
