Thanks for visiting LIVING WILD Media!
We are full-time adventurers who travel the country in our camper while homeschooling our two children. Our mission is to re-connect families with nature and the outdoors through books, videos, and live presentations intended to teach, inspire, entertain, and engage.
Today’s kids are more disconnected from nature than ever. Many suffer from “Nature Deficit Disorder." A modern lifestyle of devices, screens, car-based travel, and busy school life has combined to utterly disconnect them form the outdoors. Nature Deficit Disorder robs them of a sense of place and diminishes practical skills, mental and physical wellbeing, and an understanding of the natural world. Our aim is to re-establish a connection to the natural world through deep engagement that builds skills, self-reliance, and a conservation mindset . . . all while having fun!
Ron is a professional conservation scientist and award-winning author who spent more than 25 years at Cornell University and the National Audubon Society. Ron got his love of nature through hunting, fishing, birding, and camping in the backwoods of Pennsylvania. He is an accomplished traditional archer and ardent supporter of protecting wild places. His recent works include Tine to Table, A Traditional Bowhunter’s Path, and LIVING WILD with the Orions--an adventure/historical fiction book series that uses storytelling to teach kids and adults about nature, history, wilderness living, wild food, hunting, and more. In 2023, Ron’s book, “Echo,” was named Book of the Year by Children’s Book International.
Debbie is the glue that holds it all together! She plans our adventures, edits Ron's books, and is a highly creative and talented, self-taught video editor. From start to finish, she envisions, edits, and produces the material for our YouTube channel.
Thanks for your support. We'd love to hear from you if you have comments or questions.
Keep it Wild!
Ron and Debbie
