I find that the best way to understand and enjoy the natural world is to listen and look for the stories that often include the effect and influence of human activity. Over the years, I've become so engrossed in learning the environmental stories of human-occupied landscapes that I decided to make a more formal study of these complex human-nature relationships. I've spent the past seven years working on my PhD in Environmental Studies at Antioch University New England with a concentration in agricultural conservation history. I'm finished of May 2016!
My Camino de Santiago Francés hike is my graduation gift to myself but it could not have been possible without my wonderful support team Peter and Molly Eppig in Antrim, NH, Jean-My-Favorite-Librarian in New York City, my Vermont family Eileen and Bob Foster, my doctoral advisor and chairwoman Dr. Alesia Maltz, Emily Jeanne Eppig-Curran and family in DE, George Eppig, and Dr. Naraval in New Freedom, PA.
