Nichols is a scientist, activist, community organizer, and author helping people reestablish healthier, more creative and regenerative relationships with themselves, each other and their environment through water, wonder, wellness and wildlife. His work has been broadcast on NPR, BBC, PBS, National Geographic and Animal Planet, as well as numerous popular periodicals.
