Greg Shayes

Greg Schayes hails from the temperate rainforests of Washington State where he has been facilitating nature connection since 2006. Greg has a B.A. in Natural History, and a Masters Degree in Education with an outdoor education emphasis. Exploring landscapes is at the heart of Greg’s teaching philosophy and he is passionate about sharing the wonders that can be observed while out on the land. Greg is passionate about building connections between people and nature by engaging their sense of wonder, and tapping into their own curiosity with a strong emphasis on play. When Greg is not sharing his love of nature connection with others, you can find him searching though used book stores, fixing old toyotas, or snuggling with his dog. Greg lives in St. Paul with his wife Becky and his children Casper and Angus. He shares his home with a friendly Labrador named Aoife and a Ball Python named Karamel.
