Instructor Rich Brame came to NOLS in the 80's as a Fall Semester in the Rockies student and worked his first NOLS course at Wind Cave National Park in 1984. Since then, he's worked varied NOLS trips and courses on five continents—with a few more on the way. Rich does some front country shenanigans for NOLS too. He's headed up NOLS' public policy, research, LNT, Yukon programs and most recently in the Lander Alumni Relations Department.
