The Steward of the Land

My name is Anda McCusker, and I’ve spent my life at the crossroads of nature and narrative. As a Park Ranger in some of America’s most iconic landscapes—including Yosemite, Olympic, and Pipe Spring—I’ve witnessed the raw power of the seasons and the quiet resilience of the wild.

My "Church of Nature" is built on the belief that the land is our greatest teacher. Whether I’m navigating the "Internal Permafrost" of a life transition or standing under the "Magnificent Giants" of the high country, my goal is to steward a space where we can all learn to move at the pace of the earth.

As an author and a guide, I use these Ranger Rhythms to help others regulate their nervous systems, set healthy boundaries, and find the sacred in the everyday.

Let’s walk the trail together.
