About

Welcome to “Smoky Mountain Nature Lady,” aka Cindy Johnson! 🌲🦋 For the past 18 wonderful years, I’ve had the privilege of calling the foothills of the Smoky Mountains my home. During this time, I’ve developed a deep love and appreciation for every whisper of the wind, the remarkable plant life, and the song of every critter.

Once a teacher and always one at heart, I’m now immersing myself in the wonders of the Southern Appalachian Naturalist Certification Program through the esteemed Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont and the University of Tennessee.

At 61, my passion for the outdoor environment is as strong as ever, matched only by my sense of humor. I can’t wait to sprinkle some fun and excitement into your day as we explore together. Join me as I share the marvels, mysteries, and laughter that nature offers. Let’s celebrate the wild side of life together!
