Brooke grew up exploring the forests of the Wasatch Mountains and red rock of Southern Utah. She dreamed up this project as a way to connect deeper with the land and people who shape her home. As a student in the University of Utah's Environmental Humanities Graduate Program, Brooke explored the role of story in the regional climate justice movement. She organizes with regional and national climate justice groups such as Wasatch Rising Tide, Uplift, and SustainUS. Brooke finds hope in the community of young agitators, visionaries, storytellers, and artists who call the red rock region home. 

Parker Feierbach is a documentary photographer living in New York City with his dog. He specializes in niche sports, as well as environmentally and science-centric stories. Holding a BA in Anthropology from the University of Georgia, his background has allowed him to shoot stories that come from within the subject matter rather than with attention to pure observership. As a result, Parker's willingness to be fully versed in his projects has produced longform stories that explore the depths of a subject matter. Currently focused on the intersection of technology, nature, and the human race, his most recent stories have had to do with nuclear power in the American South, modern urban running, and the astronomical history of New Mexico. Parker also loves riding bikes, and when he's not taking photos, he eagerly jumps in as our official bike mechanic. 

As a zero-generation Utahn, Kailey moved to Utah 6 years ago because she likes exploring rad shit. Kailey met Brooke a year ago and instantly knew this was the girl she wanted to go on a super hot bike ride with. As a recently graduated student from the Environmental Humanities masters program, Kailey is also completely unemployed and needed free food and something to do before heading to Oregon State in September to start a PhD. Riding bikes and interviewing neat people seemed better than working at Smiths. Kailey cares about the planet because she is a human who breathes and eats food. She doesn't want the climate to become unlivable for humans and animals and plants. She works and organizes alongside Brooke as part of Wasatch Rising Tide. Kailey finds hope in people who sing loudly and never give up.
