Join us as we explore the exciting growth of Nature-based Tourism in the Pacific Northwest. Hosted by Dan Moore: adventure traveler, explorer, and Chief Outings Officer at EverGreen Escapes.
The Pacific Northwest abounds with rich natural resources and is wonderland for the outdoor recreationalist. These combined assets make our region home to a unique tourism-based economy: Nature-based tourism. Proven to have benefits for local communities and conservation, nature-based tourism offers the opportunity to define our region as “green”, improve our national and international recognition, and create a “must see” locale.

Dan Moore, Chief Outings Officer, EverGreen Escapes
Dan’s mission is to create an exciting and comfortable learning environment in which people feel inspired AND a sense of accomplishment. A tour with him is about the overall experience, not just the bits of information. Dan grew up in Minneapolis MN and spent a large percentage of his childhood out exploring the wilderness and wild areas around home and afar. In 1996, after graduating from college in St. Paul MN (Macalester College), he left to spend most of a year in South America trekking and researching tropical forests in Bolivia, Peru and Brazil. It is here that Dan discovered the importance of creating positive experiences for people in the outdoors (“You can’t love what you don’t know, and people won’t protect what they don’t love” he says). He came back to the US in 1997 to get a graduate degree in Environmental Education from the University of MN at Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center and shortly after graduating he moved to Seattle. When he’s not leading tours and team building programs for Evergreen Escapes, Dan, who is Chief Outings Officer, works behind the scenes designing programs and helping to run the business.
