Lee Moll

Lee grew up as a "Nature Girl" in the rural outskirts of New York City, where she developed and expressed her keen sense of biophilia. She expanded her appreciation for the outdoors after venturing to the western United States and now owns a home in Boise, Idaho.

Lee graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1980 with a degree in Environmental Conservation. Since then, she has migrated around the globe with National Geographic–Lindblad Expeditions, often following the whales and birds, with occasional stopovers in Idaho to mow the lawn at her house and feed the cat she doesn't actually have. She is fortunate to have mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, deserts and oceans in which to work and play.

Although experienced in private consulting and federal and state government work, Lee has been a professional tour leader and naturalist since 1988. As a generalist, she discusses many topics, with particular interests in botany, marine mammals, ornithology and geology. She enjoys revealing the interconnectedness of all things, great and small. A world traveler, Lee also enjoys photographing the places she visits and sharing their natural history with fellow curious travelers. With an unquenched thirst for new experiences and knowledge, she can often be spotted attached to her binoculars in some fascinating place on the planet.
