Steve Chapman, Naturalist and Outdoor Guide
Dear Bear Tracks Adventurers. I am very excited and pleased to be assisting Bear Tracks Adventures with Hiking, Hunting, and Outdoor Activities. What a privelege it will be to help introduce you to our beautiful area. As a native son of these mountains, with family roots many generations deep, I have been steeped in the lore and traditions of these hills. The native flora and fauna of the Southern Appalachians hold deep, sacred meaning to me. One of my greatest passions is to help introduce the true heart of these mountains to others. After studying natural resources managment at Western Carolina University and completing many wildlife oriented workshops and courses through North Carolina State University's extension programs, I began working professionally as a naturalist and outdoor guide in 1991.
I was fortunate to serve as staff Naturalist and Parks Superintendent at Sapphire Lakes for 14 years. There I founded their respective hiking and fishing clubs, developed many miles of trail system, wildlife corridors, fisheries and habitat improvements and much more. Since then I have served as Director of Operations for Headwaters Outfitters, a river outfitter on the French Broad River as well as Head Trapper at Smoke Rise Field Club, a Sporting Clays Facility and have continued to operate my own hiking, hunting, and outdoor guiding business continually since 1991. All of these experiences have been greatly rewarding and have fostered many cherished memories and relationships, all the while honing my intimate knowledge of these mountains. With great zeal and anticipation of days afield, I look forward to seeing you on the trail!
