Allen Miller
My wife Anita and I joined BRNN a year ago and have enjoyed several programs and outings and have met many wonderful new Nature loving friends. We are both retired. We live on the farm I grew up on in Iredell/Alexander Counties on the Catawba Rivers Lookout Shoals Lake. We love hiking, birding, boating, kayaking, fishing, photography, travel and just enjoying nature. We are fortunate to live within an hours’ drive to many great locations in the Blue Ridge and do so usually weekly.

Jonathan Marchal is the Youth Education Manager at The North Carolina Arboretum, a position that affords him many opportunities to enjoy the beauty and biodiversity of our mountains. He is also past president of the Environmental Educators of North Carolina, and an avid contributor to iNaturalist (in fact, most of the images included here are also observations he has submitted) and other citizen science projects. Jonathan is also a woodworker, and his wife Sarah raise their two children (Harper, 5 and Bruce, 3) in Black Mountain and enjoy frequent romps throughout Pisgah National Forest, the Blue Ridge Parkway and surrounding areas.
