And this makes 7! Introducing the last storyteller in April's cast, Ben!
Ben Greene grew up climbing mountains and running amok in Colorado before relocating to Alaska some 30+ years ago. He’s lived & worked in Fairbanks, Bethel, Barrow (aka Utqiagvik), and Anchorage focusing on natural resource & environmental impact topics. Ben truly believes mountains are alive. As living, sacred beings, he gives them permission to move on occasion—even if we happen to be inconveniently, sometimes tragically, in their way
