As an organization, we're Ground Truth Trekking. Ground Truth Trekking is based on the belief that expeditions to see what's on the ground help us learn about important issues. We combine that "ground truth" with "researched truth," using our scientific backgrounds along with our adventuresto come up with something we hope will further the conversation about these issues in an entertaining and informative way. Of course, we can't hope to be experts on everything, so we focus most of our efforts on natural resource issues in Alaska.

Personally, we're Erin McKittrick and Bretwood Higman (Hig), a couple of folks living in a yurt in Seldovia, Alaska, spending half our time on the computer, and half our time wandering around in the woods.
