About our collaborator


Joy Marzolf

Joy Marzolf has loved animals from the time she was a child growing up in New England and she would always take advantage of any outdoor time to explore nature. Now, she still loves to explore, but also to share her knowledge about wildlife, wildlife photography and nature in general. She has worked with reptiles in the wild, and in captivity, for over 20 years. This includes live animal education programs in Oregon and field work with the Crocodile Research Coalition in Belize and the Copperhead Institute in New England. Her company, Joys of Nature, provides nature, nature travel and live animal programs for all ages, including programs for senior centers, libraries, camps and schools. One of her favorite things to do is break people’s misconceptions about many animals that people fear, including predators such as sharks, reptiles and spiders.
