At Eco-Quest Nature Tours our mission states it perfectly 'to provide the curious eco-traveler with a unique and memorable experience that will activate a desire to preserve and protect our natural resources'. We love what we do. I have been involved with natural resources and environmental education since 1989. I am involved with different research projects such as population studies of the American Crocodiles and the Florida Chicken Turtle, forensic botany in the Ten Thousand Islands and orchid location and identification in The Fakahatchee Strand and The Big Cypress National Preserve. I do programs at different organizations to promote conservation.
