Kari is not a professional tree hugger though she is a proud wildcrafter. She is an urban mother, librarian and classically trained chef championing the benefits exposure to nature gives children.
Kari is a love refuge from Norway. She moved to Canada to join her filmmaker husband and raise their children in Toronto. Being that Kari is Norwegian, her husband is from Florida and they live in Canada she likes to call three places her home. Norway, Florida and Canada. Her education and different cultural background gives her a unique perspective on culture, nature lifestyle and parenting.
She speaks Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, and English, speaks and understand some German and understands enough French to never go hungry in Paris.
She is so passionate about getting kids outside, Kari made it is her business. When looking for inspirational ideas about the natural world in magazines and online she found very little. Her passion turned into a business idea. She has set out to make an exciting website connecting children with nature for adults and kids.

Russell is a two time Gemini nominated Director of Photography in the film and television industry. He feels lucky to make his living doing what he loves in life. Being a cinematographer demands skills both creative and physical. His office ranges from steamy tropics to icy winter conditions where he has learned the importance of having the proper gear.
Raised on a horse farm in Minnesota, he thanks his childhood for introducing the outdoors to him at an early age. His experiences as a child fueled his imagination and his exposure to the outdoors supplied his passion and physical skills he uses everyday in his work.
“I have thought about how important it was for me to fall a lot as a child. I was thrown off horses, I fell out of trees and I have had "yard sale" wipe-outs downhill skiing," said Russell, "It has given me the agility and confidence (both mental and physical) that help me get the images that my clients demand. It may sound silly to say, but I want my daughter to fall as much as I did when I was growing up.
