Welcome to my personal website!  

My name is Brian Stengele and I am the founder & head instructor of Eastern Ontario Primitive School.  

With over fifteen years of experience, I have spent time living close to the earth in every environment in North America with the exception of the high Arctic.  As a conservationist, naturalist and professional outdoor educator, I have a passion for teaching the skills necessary to help my students gain a new respect and understanding of nature.  When not in the field teaching, I like to spend my time tracking and photographing local wildlife, working with local youth organizations to help them integrate nature programming, advocating for the role of primitive skills in formal educational settings and performing research in the non-profit sector.

I am also a proud contributing member of the following professional organizations:
