Paul Earle
Naturalist
Team member since 2021
Paul (He/Him) is a Tennessee native, having been born in Winchester and raised in Ooltewah, just north of Chattanooga. He has, from childhood, felt a deep sense of peace and comfort in the natural world and has always been excited to explore a natural setting. He is equally at home picking a tune on the porch while smelling the warm breeze, or on Sunset Rock breathing in the chilly mountain air.
Paul is a graduate of UTC with a major in Philology with a minor in Classics. As such, he holds the propagation of knowledge in high regard, especially that which inspires love and care for the natural world. He has worked for Reflection Riding in many forms since 2021. Beginning as a volunteer docent, he quickly grew to love sharing the natural world with the community, and has grown to love it more with each passing year.
In his role as Naturalist, Paul is excited to share the love of good stewardship and its sustaining effects with any and all who will listen. His goal is and has always been to see the community rally around a common love for their shared green places.
