Story Clark grew up in New York City, where she discovered her passion for natural spaces while exploring Central Park. She went on to found and lead local, national, and international conservation organizations, and to share her wealth of knowledge and experience about land conservation transactions as a keynote speaker, presenter, and instructor in countless courses and conferences across the country, as well as in her book, A Field Guide to Conservation Finance (Island Press, 2007). In 2012, in an effort to connect people to places in an even more meaningful way, Story became a leading innovator in mobile technology, establishing her mission-driven company, TravelStorysGPS, which developed and patented the cutting-edge, hands-free mobile platform TravelStorys™. After testing the app with nonprofit organizations in Jackson Hole, the company’s home base, TravelStorysGPS launched the technology nationwide. The platform now hosts more than 220 tours in 45 states and has been downloaded in over 174 countries.
