Mike Levin, Board Treasurer

Mike Levin has a love and passion for nature. He enjoys photography, cooking, hiking, scuba and golf. His passion for hiking and photography are what led him to discover Ryerson Woods. He has spent countless hours photographing the plant and wildlife that live right here among us in the suburbs. He has had many personal experiences working as a volunteer alongside his children as a chaperone on several national and international service trips. These experiences have allowed him to witness the therapeutic power of interacting with nature as a way to heal past traumas and promote future personal growth.
