About

B.A. Woodland

B.A. Woodland was born in Central New York and traveled out West as a young woman to forge her own path in the wild, open expanses of some of America's most prized and protected public lands. Dear to her heart were experiences as a National Park Service ranger in Grand Canyon, Crater Lake, Zion, Yosemite, Mount Rainier, and Denali National Parks. From working as a canoe guide in the Everglades of Florida to scaling a Cascade volcano as a climbing ranger on Mount Shasta in California, B.A. likes to explore new environments and test her mettle while learning and educating others about the marvels of the natural world.
