Naturalist For You

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am Joel Robinson, the founder and head naturalist for Naturalist For You (NFY) . I have guided thousands of curious individuals on professional wilderness tours since 2001. Many organizations and agencies have utilized my talents, including the US Forest Service, The Nature Conservancy, The Wildlands Conservancy, the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy, Latino Health Access, Santa Ana Mountains Wild Heritage Project, City of Santa Ana, City of Lake Forest, and Orange County Department of Education. I am a Certified Interpretive Guide with the National Association for Interpretation. My goal is for future generations to have the same opportunities to enjoy nature as in previous generations. NFY is a 501 (c) (3), non-profit, public benefit corporation. All donations are tax-deductible.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Naturalist For You was created to connect you, the public, to the diverse natural areas of Southern California. As naturalists we possess a broad knowledge and understanding of the natural world. We are trained to observe natural processes and interpret their significance for your benefit. We are passionate about wild places and seek to share that passion with you.
