About

I’m Danielle Piscatelli, a knowledgeable educator and wilderness guide with 15 years in the outdoor industry. I lead single and multi-day trips across National Forests and National Parks, teaching youth through college students, and collaborating with community organizations to provide accessible, memorable outdoor experiences. I’m passionate about mentoring others, building teams, and turning a love of the outdoors into structured, growth-oriented programs.

Beyond guiding, I bring nonprofit development experience, raising funds through grants, events, and annual giving with budgets from $250K to $1.1 million. I enjoy crafting engaging programs, coordinating logistics, and communicating impact to diverse audiences, always aiming to expand access to nature and outdoor education.
