About
For over 25 years, I've dedicated my life to connecting people with the natural world, starting right here in the Bay Area. I've seen firsthand how a single hike or volunteer event can change someone's perspective. But I also recognized a universal frustration—people everywhere wanting to get outside but not knowing where to start, lost in a sea of confusing websites.That's why I created Explore Local Nature: to make discovering the incredible nature in any community as easy and joyful as the experience itself. We're launching our journey in San Mateo County, building a model that can help connect communities to nature, wherever they may be.-Mike Kahn, Founder
