About Founder

author

Big Bend National Park served as his first national park encounter and he was hooked immediately to the awe, wonder, and diversity of nature.  He has explored national parks across every continent which only elevates the organization’s commitment to protecting these global treasures.

“Every national park experience is an encounter with the uniqueness and diversity of nature. I wish I had the time to experience every national park in the world.  It would be one of the greatest educational journeys ever.”

Dr. Phillip Imler
President & Founder
