Let's Reimagine Together
Join me on the road for the 2026-2027 North, South, East, West Book Tour — intimate readings, major lectures, and conversations that challenge how we think about nature, law, and our place in the world.
The North, South, East, West Book Tour
The North, South, East, West Book Tour
I'm taking my work across the country. These events are designed to connect, inspire, and invite you into a new way of thinking about the human relationship with nature.From university lectures to bookstore readings to art and poetry events, each stop is an opportunity to engage with the ideas in Wildlife as Property Owners, explore what's coming in the National Parks book, and join a growing movement of people who believe we can — and must — do better.
Whether you're a graduate student, an avid reader, a creative professional, or simply someone called to big things, you're invited.
Upcoming Events

Featured Poet, “The River I Love’ at Aspen Shakti
A law firm specializing in nature advocacy is hosting a Valentine’s Day series in Aspen to celebrate and protect rivers through art, conversation, and legal innovation, according to a news release.
16th Annual Wallace Stegner Center Young Scholar Lecture: Wildlife as Property Owners
Existing legal solutions to stem catastrophic biodiversity loss are failing. Could the answer to saving plants and animals rest in property law? Securing habitat through trusts allows animals to own the land they live on, as participants in the system of property. This surprisingly bi-partisan solution answers some of the most pressing land concerns in the West.
Invite Me to Speak
I speak at universities, conferences, nonprofit events, and creative gatherings on topics including animal law, biodiversity, environmental policy, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the future of conservation.
Speaking engagements are booked through my agent, who can provide current availability and pricing can be provided.
