Rebecca Myers is the author of several award-winning travel and nature stories. She has been an environmental educator, writer, and storyteller.

During her childhood, her parents took their family on camping trips and nature hikes in our great national and state parks all over the United States. At an early age, she felt a kinship with trees, birds, and other animals. When she was 3 years old, she met the giant sequoia trees for the first time. She liked them and felt they liked her, too.

In college, she worked at the Museum of Natural History at the University of Kansas where she developed and managed nature education programs for children.

As a young bride from 1973 to 1982, she lived on a 1,300-acre wildlife sanctuary in the Adirondack Mountains of New York, helped build a nature education center, led trail hikes, and created and taught environmental programs. Her memoir of that time, Sanctuary, features the joys of living close to nature.
