I enjoy presenting and have had excellent responses to my talks and seminars.

Andy Keller is a biological research, naturalist, scholar, public educator, and outdoorsman who specializes in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Alaska. He is currently a graduate student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks working on a masters degree in Northern Studies where he is examining the debate over oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Keller earned a B.S. degree from the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington in 1981. He has a diverse history which includes working for twelve national parks, several national wildlife refuges, Alaska's Tongass National Forest, and the Bureau of Land Management.

He has conducted research, written articles, presented illustrated slide programs, and visited members of congress in his efforts to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Andy is an outdoorsman and naturalist who had instructed Outward Bound courses and other outdoor programs. He spends as much time as he can in the wilderness.

Andy is interested in speaking to all audiences, including academic, graduate, public and school groups. He is generally not available in early December.

Representative lecture titles are:

  • The last great wilderness-a history of and introduction to the Arctic Refuge.
  • Biology and conservation of North America's coastal temperate rainforest.
  • Making a difference-a hands-on workshop on organizing to protect the environment.
