Laban W. grew up exploring the forests of Pennsylvania, a love of wild places that eventually led him from studying music to working in horticultural therapy, outdoor education, and natural resource management. With 15 years of guiding under his belt, he brings a deep passion for connecting with the land—whether biking singletrack, climbing peaks, or slowing down to birdwatch, play music, and share in the wonder of wild places. His belief that connecting with ecological systems invites us into a greater senses of reverence, community and curiosity always shines through.
