Warren has lived his entire life in Calgary on Treaty 7 land and considers himself to be an educator always in transition: he is searching for ways to reconnect young adults and educators to the natural world. He started a 30 year teaching career at Canmore Collegiate High School in 1995 and retired in June 2025 at Robert Thirsk High School in Calgary. Warren worked to build bridges in a classroom setting to support use-able biological knowledge and finished his career after creating a unique Natural Science program to reconnect high school students to the natural world. It is in this aspect that Warren joined the Howl Experience full-time in July 2025 - to continue creating experiences in the Yukon where he has been taking high school student groups since 2018. He continues to develop a burgeoning experiential land-based journey in the North for High School students, young adults and educators. The journey to shine a light on this unique and important ecosystem will continue to be a challenge that shifts and flows with the topics that abound in environmental education, reconciliation, outdoor adventure and in the need to build a greater sense of nature literacy with participants.

In this short intro, I lay out some of the inspiration and vision for The Regenerative Way. It's been a long time in the making - I'm ready to dive all in!
