The lone pine is a Bristlecone pine ...
An old tree, a Bristlecone Pine, was 4,862 years old when it was cut down (by mistake)... I named my company Lone Pine as a reminder of the inherent fragility of all life.
I was brought up in three languages- my early experience of nature like mostly everything else was very obviously tempered by the different cultures, experiences and perspectives of the speaker at any particular time- but they all passed on to me a love of, a curiosity of, and a strong connection with the nature all around. I grew up in Sweden before the availability of too much technology so there was a lot of pristine nature to play in, eat from, and lose myself in.
I now try to pass on others that sense of richness and love of nature- because what we don't love we most likely won't protect, and what we don't have language or words for- are things we won't even know we've lost...
I am a theoretical evolutionary ecologist by training, and I've worked in international environmental policy for many years. I am now a coach, outdoor educator and university teaching fellow teaching about environment, sustainability, ethics and corporate responsibility to business and engineering students.
I am a volunteer Lowland Rescue search team leader and pre-hospital medic in my local area and I lead bushcraft days, expeditions and wilderness quests whenever I can.
