Our Roots

Annabel spent nearly a decade working as a Natural Heritage Educator in the provincial park system before completing her Bachelor of Education and moving to the Northwest Territories. She completed her Forest and Nature School Practitioners course in 2021 and is the Founder and Lead Facilitator at Rooted in Nature! In her free time, she spends her days on the land with her two young boys, husband and sled dog team.
