Steve Johnson is a self-propelled recreation junkie and fan of all things outdoors. Author of more than thirty outdoor interest titles and regular appearances in Backpacker and other award-winning magazines, he has also partnered with some of America's most influential business leaders to write their riveting stories, including an influential and in-progress look at sustainability efforts around the world. And don't miss his first children's book, The Big Bog, a fun outdoor learning adventure story with a great message and start of a nationwide series.

Building on a dynamic career in sustainability, natural resources communication, and editing, Steve's work includes outdoor where-to and related subjects, with additional publications in the sports world, government agencies, business and memoir writing, historic preservation, and climate change. His lifelong passion for nature inspired responsible outdoor recreation efforts in the Upper Midwest and Colorado, as well as student-led conservation campaigns including Small Grass Big Earth, a movement to reclaim millions of acres of America's lawns. Steve hails from Wisconsin's far north.
