Gregg Treinish founded Adventure Scientists in 2011 to get scientists the data they need to create lasting, positive changes for the environment by harnessing the skills and passion of the outdoor community. Join him as he relives the grueling adventures and insights that led to the founding of this nonprofit based in Bozeman, Montana, and discover his inspiring new cast of heroes: the scientists driving the research the organization supports.
National Geographic named Gregg an Adventurer of the Year in 2008 when he and a friend completed a 7,800-mile trek along the spine of the Andes Mountain Range. He has undertaken several epic long-distance treks, served as a field technician on diverse expeditions, and guided others to experience the wild firsthand. His creation and running of Adventure Scientists has garnered him accolades as a Draper Richards Kaplan Entrepreneur, an Ashoka Fellow, and in 2018 one of the Grist 50 “Fixers.”
