Gabriel Willow has been a lover of nature his whole life. Raised in rural Maine, he followed his love of the wilderness—particularly birds—to Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Vermont and southern Mexico and earned a degree in ecology. In 2003, he found nature in the least likely of places: New York City. He’s been here ever since, working with the Prospect Park Audubon Center, New York City Audubon, the Bryant Park Corporation, Wave Hill, Lincoln Center, and other organizations and cultural institutions, helping fellow New Yorkers experience the same incredible thrill of discovering interesting wildlife in the midst of the city. His winter harbor ecology tours were called "The Best Thing About Winter in NYC" by Time Out New York , and his self-designed eco-cruises and nature tours have been written up in The New York Times, The New Yorker and New York Magazine, and more.
