I’m Tyler, co-host of the Sustain the Trail podcast and someone who genuinely believes that adventure and responsibility can (and should) go hand in hand. I’ve spent years chasing trails, exploring wild places, and building a deep appreciation for the landscapes that give us so much—fresh air, perspective, and a sense of belonging. Somewhere along the way, it became clear that loving the outdoors also means showing up to protect it.

I’m also the founder of Nani Summit Creative, a sustainability-focused web studio serving outdoor brands that want to reduce their digital footprint while still growing with intention. That work heavily influences what we talk about on Sustain the Trail, where Becca and I dig into conservation, stewardship, and what it actually looks like to make more responsible choices—without losing the joy of adventure.

When I’m not behind the mic, you’ll probably find me on a trail, planning the next trip, or nerding out on sustainability ideas that help keep these places wild for the long haul.

Hello, fellow nature enthusiasts! No matter what brings you here, I’m so glad you’ve found your way to this space. I’m Becca McFarlane—teacher, mother, writer, and your West Coast host.

The outdoors has always been my grounding place. Whether I’m hiking forest trails, camping under open skies, paddleboarding calm waters, or fishing at dawn, nature is where I feel most centered and alive. Its benefits go far beyond physical exercise; time outside restores our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Nature-based therapy played a vital role in my own healing journey, and it ignited a lifelong passion for conservation and access. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the restorative power of wild places—and I’m committed to advocating for their protection so future generations can find the same peace, resilience, and connection outdoors that I have.
Thanks for listening and being part of the conversation.
