Nate Howard received a BS in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology and History from Tulane University in 2015. A lifelong lover of the natural world, Nate is an experienced environmental educator with roots in the diverse ecologies of regions including New England, New York City, the Mississippi River Delta, and, of course, the Puget Sound. With a deep interest in urban nature and its connections to and impact on our social fabrics, Nate is passionate about communicating ways in which people can live harmoniously with the natural world – with a particular interest in urban forests, pollinator corridors, and waterways. These qualities steered him towards his current position as a Natural Yard Care Coordinator with the Garden Hotline, where he enjoys discussing options for living sustainably in the city. When not at the call desk, you can find Nate peering into any good street tree canopy in search of birds, bugs, and other critters.
