The skills we hone as NOLS instructors serve us well as conservation leaders: We are deeply committed to wild lands, wildlife and wild water, we know what wilderness gives to our spirits. We know how to plan a strategy to achieve a goal and how to adapt along the way when conditions change. We know how to talk to and teach people, we are good listeners and we know the power of inspiring leadership in others. And we know the importance of EB, treating people with respect, building a strong team, working hard and pulling more than our weight. This kind of leadership is invaluable to face the challenges of protecting our environment.
