About Mark Long

As our global community races towards an exponentially increasing digital and online culture, it’s easy to lose track of a fundamental educational truth: that experiential, hands-on learning is usually the most effective, enjoyable, and meaningful approach. As a life long experiential educator who has been fortunate to have worked with a full spectrum of learners, I've enjoyed countless opportunities to witness the transformative capacity enriching natural environments have on students and enthusiasts of all ages. Facilitating unique programs and assisting participants as they build powerful connections between prior knowledge, new information, people, and unique natural environments - and seeing them grow as individuals transferring new skills from learning environment to their real world - is profoundly meaningful. I'm fortunate to work within a context that's both rewarding and continually inspiring.
