Author Information

Maine based author, historian and speaker Jeffrey Ryan has a passion for exploring the outdoors on foot and along the dusty paths of history. His travels on thousands of miles on both America's most famous and lesser-known trails and interest in the history of America's conservation movement have inspired half a dozen books, and speaking engagements in thirty-eight states. He has just finished building his writing studio, a replica of Henry David Thoreau's cabin, crafted almost entirely using hand tools. When he is not researching and writing in his cabin, Ryan can be found exploring the backroads of the USA and Canada. Podcast host and documentary filmmaker Stefan Van Norden's work is inspired by the role nature plays in our lives. His podcast, Nature Revisited, is one of the most popular nature podcasts and enjoys a worldwide following. Mark Granlund explores the personal experience of natural landscapes, human activity and contemporary culture. His work utilizes traditional genres of landscape and still life. In his landscapes, Granlund shares the rhythms, layers and patterns that he senses particular to the site, capturing the bodily experience of place. Grounded in respect for Nature, Mark prioritizes working with eco-friendly materials: eco-sensitive paints and finishing products, organic cotton or linen, and sustainable lumber for his stretchers and frames.
