Callie Pehl

Callie (she/her) grew up on a farm in rural southwestern Washington where she spent her childhood exploring its vast woods, rivers, and fields. This inspired her love for the outdoors and passion for environmental science and stewardship. She moved to southeastern Idaho, very close to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park, and spent as much time as she could exploring and learning about them. Some of her favorite memories she made there were studying glaciation in the northern Rocky Mountains and spending her free time fishing on one of the many rivers. Her curiosity eventually led her Southeast to Alabama, where she began working as an Environmental Educator at an environmental center located in Bankhead National Forest. Callie is happiest when she is outside, sharing her love of nature with others and encouraging them to explore the outdoors. She is excited to be back West near the Rockies and to continue to teach in the world’s greatest classroom: Nature! In her downtime, when she’s not outside, she loves to play guitar, write, watercolor paint, go thrifting, and try out new recipes in her kitchen.
