Instructor: Tyler Katzmar
A little about your instructor: Tyler lives in Anchorage on the traditional and unceded lands of the Dena’ina Athabaskan. Tyler moved to Alaska in 2009 to attend college at Alaska Pacific University. While studying marine biology, Tyler fell in love with the Alaska backcountry and developed the camping, skiing, hiking and sea kayaking skills needed to travel comfortably outside. When not educating Alaskan’s about energy with the Renewable Energy Alaska Project, Tyler enjoys fishing, hunting, and harvesting berries and medicinal plants. During the winter, Tyler preserves his summer harvest through canning, infusing, smoking, and fermenting.
