Avery Chapman (he/him)

Hi, I'm Avery Chapman. I'm a trans man currently living in Orange County. I grew up in the foothills of the NC mountains. Nature and being in the woods especially has always been an extremely important part of both my identity and well-being. I have hiked, mountain biked, and kayaked all over the state and each time gain fresh love and appreciation for the beauty of NC and the wonderful diversity of nature and humans that we have in our state. Being in nature is truly one of the most important parts of my life, and I am excited to share that with other folks.

I'm also a parent of twins who also love being outdoors. They've been hiking with me since they were 6 weeks old and also love few things more than nature time.
