Conversation for Conservation: What’s Not to Hike – Nicola Ross on Launching Loops and Lattes

If you could fold three of your loves into one special career, you would probably do it, right? But what if you didn’t know beforehand that it would turn into a successful career? What if it could have been a financial and personal disaster? What then? Would you have leapt off that cliff?

Join Nicola Ross for our first in-person Conversation for Conservation since 2020 as she tells her story of launching her Loops & Lattes Hiking Guides. Describing her adventure in words and photographs, Nicola will bring alive the rich beauty of the hiking available in our backyards that have become her career and vocation.
