Doniga Markegard is a mother, rancher, author, and naturalist. She has a background in nature and permaculture.

She spent years alone and with a small group of passionate youth in the Western Washington Wilderness learning the ways of the ancestors, immersing in nature, bird language, survival skills and wildlife tracking.
