Conserving our Forests

This photo & description was contributed by Kelly Cundiff as part of my “Into Nature” guest blog series celebrating the reissue of my book, The Ancient One.

Nature inspires me so much- that I work alongside Smokey Bear to keep our forests safe and make sure that people are educated about the outdoors and safety! The Ancient One is the book that fueled by love of Nature, specifically Oregon- which is where I work for the USDA Forest Service! My love of nature, whether it be educating people about it, or rafting the McKenzie River, or climbing South Sister, keeps me humble, centered, and allows me to breathe.
