FEATURING GUEST NATURALIST: JOHN JOHNSON

john johnson (aka johnthetreehugger) is an activist, amateur naturalist, assistant research forester and anti-capitalist. He’s almost an expert in Appalachian tree and spring ephemeral wildflower identification and eastern forest ecology. Always more to learn and love! john got his start learning the details of nature in the grassroots radical environmental movement of the 1990’s. Living at the Sequatchie Valley Institute for 6 glorious years and co-leading the annual Spring wildflower hikes for 20 plus years were a crucial part of his ecological education. Getting more education in forestry and working in the research end of the field for the last 15 years have deepened his knowledge and connection to the Appalachian forests of the Cumberland Plateau and Blue Ridge Mountains. john remains a student of the school called life and a committed anti-racist. Spring is his absolute favorite time of year and he’s always excited to see new friends and old out in the woods to celebrate the return of photosynthesis and blooms and share knowledge and stories of the forest.
