Elijah Crabtree is the Regional Land Manager for the Arc of Appalachia, stationed at Tremper Mound Preserve in Scioto County and working at the Arc’s many preserves in the larger region. Elijah was born and raised in Ross County – the epicenter of Hopewell architecture – where he developed a passion for the 2000-year old Culture, all kinds of history, natural sciences and conservation work. He has a wide breadth of knowledge and interpretive naturalist skills, but a special interest in connecting people to the natural world through botany, geology, historically significant sites such as the landscapes of Tremper Mound and the Great Portsmouth Earthworks.
