“I grew up in California and one of my favorite things to do is hike in the mountains,” says Jocelyn Holt, Ph.D. “I find hiking both energizing and mentally relaxing. I enjoy taking in all the amazing biodiversity, sounds, and forest scents. On one of my visits to Northern California, I went hiking in a redwood forest, equipped with both my digital camera and cell phone. While I was looking in the leaf litter for insects, I spotted a banana slug instead.”
