David Alexander is a naturalist, bushcrafter, Adirondack Guide, wild foods forager and avid hunter and fisherman who also serves the youth of New Jersey in environmental education. He's developed innovative nature programs for lots of different ages, homeschoolers, and local groups through his work with the New Jersey Parks & Recreation Department, winning the Employee of the Year in 2023 recently for his commitment to excellence.
It takes effort, energy and creativity to build bridges in schools, organizations and county and state parks, but David is navigating the currents like a river rafting guide shooting class IV rapids, and always coming out refreshed and smiling! His work is a testament to how one dedicated, passionate person can create change and inspiration in Public Institutions who are willing to adapt and grow in today's changing world.
He shares his approach and passion for making a difference not just for children but also adults in his private guiding experiences, where he offers adventures that involve backpacking, canoeing, fishing, foraging and wilderness skills. His Instagram account had me longing for the solitude and joy of deep nature immersion and it's not to be missed!
