More about Ellen and her love of wildlife: Ellen began studying the connections between people and the environment in the Pacific Northwest the early 2000s, after working in Central America Southeast Asia in protected area management and community forestry. Ellen’s social science work has included collaborative resource management related to wolf reintroduction, polar bear conservation, howler monkey ecotourism, as well climate change resiliency, and the use of local and indigenous knowledge.

Through her business Ardent Nature, Ellen’s empowerment coaching helps individuals and groups release the grips of fear and doubt to empower each of us to offer our unique gifts on behalf of all beings on this planet. Ellen says she has benefited from the wisdom of a number of teachers, and yet the most enduring constant and influential teacher throughout her life has been her connections to vast wild places. Ellen is an avid outdoor enthusiast, was a wilderness guide in the Pacific Northwest, and a competitive dog musher in Alaska.
