As an avid gardener, hiker, and general outdoor explorer, Tasha is passionate about getting kids and their families out into nature as a means of promoting optimal mental health and whole child development. She believes that children thrive when given the freedom to develop their inherent curiosity and sense of wonder, and that nature provides the perfect environment for this type of natural growth. As an LCSW, Tasha’s clinical experience began in 2017 and has focused primarily on children (ages 3-7) and their families. “I am so excited to be part of this program - providing access to outdoor spaces, along with the time and space to play and explore is one the greatest gifts we can give to young children, particularly in these early years as they begin to develop a love of learning, a sense of self, and an understanding of how they fit into this world.”

Ned's fondest memories of school were held on Thursdays at a large brown table covered in paint. Art class was simple. It provided an avenue for the festering ideas locked inside his head to escape and breathe. Art class was a refuge in a desert of monotony filled with color and laughter. Never wanting to leave, Ned decided to pursue a life giving back to the kiddos like himself who couldn’t sit still in math class.
After spending some time at Montana State, Ned obtained a degree in Art Education where he acquired some of the tools to encourage cross curricular creative confidence, and continue to experience making art with others.
