Wildlife Guide & Interpreter
Terry Elliott
|
When we first met Terry Elliott on Vancouver Island in 1994, where he was living & working as a log builder and attempting to start his own adventure company in the mountains of the West Coast. After several meetings, the next year Terry started working as a co-leader on Great Canadian whale watching trips along the west coast of Vancouver Island. Later that same summer he also began working as a leader at our Arctic wildlife camps. |

"I'm fortunate enough that I get to see three seasons on the land, from the first flowers of spring through the glorious days of autumn."

"Close encounters with wolf pups in '97, the white bears of
'99; and every musk-ox, fox, gyrfalcon, hare, flower, and sunset in
between all give one the feeling that..." |

"..in this place, the natural world is in balance and unaffected by man" - Terry Elliott |
