The Crystalline Ranger

Our primary mission is to reconnect people to nature by offering diverse educational programs that are accessible to all.

- Consultation: Is your pond ecosystem struggling? Our aquatic biologist and ecotoxicologist can assess your pond and prescribe a plan that addresses your pond's needs.
- Design: Want to build a pond the right way? We’ll assist you from the initial idea to the final lily! Short on time for DIY? We can create plans based on your vision and manage every aspect.
- Biological surveys: We conduct biological surveys on plants, fish, and invertebrates, and test key water quality parameters for privately owned ponds and lakes.

We offer various aquarium and pond items, including eastern mosquitofish, golden topminnows, eelgrass, coontail, daphnia, and grass shrimp to support healthy ecosystems

Realize your food forest dreams with expert advice from our biologist with 20 years of food forest experience. Her own food forest contains over 100 varieties of edible, medicinal, hygienic and pollinator-friendly plants.
Our stock of food forest plants encompasses both common items such as bananas and blueberries, and less common items such as yaupon holly and jicama. Check our stock to see regularly updated offerings. Many of these plants are zoned for the southeast United States.

Facilitating reconnection to nature with educational adventures is our specialty! We cover both formal hands-on teaching in outdoor settings and outdoor skills education. We specialize in customized classes, particularly those for outdoor skills. Reach out to us to plan a class!
Our classes are utilized by homeschool groups, summer camp programs, extracurricular programs, schools, and educators of all kinds.

Below is a list of outdoors skills subjects we teach:
- Fishing for any age
- Cleaning, skinning and butchering
- Trapping for survival
- Emergency shelters
- Edible plants
- Methods of water collection and purification
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.
