What does Ellie love most about nature?

Ellie is innately a protector of nature. She gets very frustrated with pollution and destruction of trees and rocks with carving and paint. She lives by “Give a hoot and don’t pollute” and “Take nothing but pictures and leave no trace”


What is Ellie's favorite animal—and why?

Ellie loves dogs and has fostered about 240 dogs and puppies in her eight years of life. She is also a highly recommended and sought after professional dog walker and dog sitter in our little town in the New River Gorge National Park.


What is Ellie's favorite outdoor activity?

Ellie thrives in any outdoor recreational activity, but loves to Mountain Bike, Whitewater Raft and Rock Climb — and hopes to start canyoneering this summer on our trip to Utah.
