Molly’s home base is in New Castle, Colorado where she and her partner, Jim, spend summers gardening intensively, maintain a home orchard, and keep pastured laying hens. She hikes weekly in the White River National Forest tracking wildlife, mushroom foraging,and mountain lake fishing.
She splits her winters between kiteboarding in Baja, Mexico and tracking in the desert of eastern San Diego County.
Professionally, Molly led the Human Resource function for software, hardware, and banking companies like Jive, GoPro and Umpqua Bank.
Molly Theda and Terry Hunefeld have both participated in multiple TCNA Track and Sign Trainings and Certifications and are passionate about learning to identify and interpret behavior in wild animal tracks and sign throughout North America. Terry has taken these trainings all over the United States from Florida to Washington State and many points in between. Both Molly and Terry love Colorado – in fact Molly spends her summers there. The best way to learn track and sign of the animals in any given habitat is to participate in a TCNA Track and Sign Training and Certification, so, together, they decided to sponsor one. And you’re invited!
