Barb Canin, mother of Taproot Students Ayla (8) and Amiela (11):

“In addition to all his considerable talents as a role model and educator, Zac's love for and knowledge of the natural world make Taproot a delightful way for kids to spend their afternoons – exploring, playing, learning, and coming to more deeply appreciate the beautiful planet we live on.”

Claudia Corwin, mother of Taproot Students Ava (7) and Max (11):

"Zac's approach to outdoor education is holistic.  He manages to teach important basic life lessons and skills, while at the same time helping the kids experience the very basic pleasures of being outside...Respect is a constant underlying thread, for both nature and people...Taproot is pure nourishment, an incredible way for the kids to unwind after the rigors and expectations of the school day.  It is their time to soak it all in, all the while laughing and running.  Rain, shine, snow, or sleet, nothing really stops them!  Zac also does a great job bringing the outdoors to families.  The Taproot plans for family education are especially exciting."
