There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot - Aldo Leopold

About Tara

It is all about connection and belonging for me. My life began with two separations. I was placed in a foster home at birth and at 9 months I arrived in the family I grew up with. These separations instilled in me a need to understand how we are connected. Nature has been my model for the intricacies of human connection and I feel an abiding debt, sense of belonging, and love for the wild.
