I am a Toronto-based naturalist with many years of experience in Canada, the United States, and Antarctica. I lead over 150 nature walks a year in and around Toronto. Read more about me here, or contact me here.

On this site, I post nature walk reports, as well as articles I have written (Wednesdays) and articles by others in a section called Friends of Miles (Sundays).
