BIO


Picture
TreeGirl, aka Julianne Skai Arbor, is an Interdisciplinary Arborist and author of the 2017 Nautilus Book Award Winner for Photography, TreeGirl: Intimate Encounters with Wild Nature. She has been on the forefront of the fields of ecotherapy, nature connection and environmental art since 1995. She travels around the world to learn from the trees first hand, and with a remote control and a tripod, photographs herself intertwined in intimate connection with the forest. To date, she has intertwined with over 70 species of trees in 14 countries.

Julianne is certified as an arborist through the International Society of Arboriculture, as a California naturalist through the University of California, as a permaculture teacher, has been trained as a facilitator in Joanna Macy's  Work That Reconnects and as rites of passage guide with Rites of Passage, Inc.

She has taught college-level interdisciplinary conservation education for over 10 years, including pioneering the very first academic program in Environmental Arts.  She holds graduate degrees in experiential Environmental Education and Arts and Consciousness Studies. She was the former Co-Director of the first Forest Therapy Guide training program in the US, and an is active US member of the International Ecopsychology Society.

With her passion for trees she creates an experiential bridge for people to connect with wild nature through presentations,  workshops and trainings in forest ecotherapy, as well as  immersive nature retreats. When not on her quest to meet new trees, she is at home amidst the native oak trees in Sonoma and Santa Barbara Counties, California.
