Hello - I'm John Gavitt, owner and manager of North River Retreat. As someone who has worked in wildlife conservation for over 30 years, I've seen how quickly people living in cities or suburbs are being shut off from the natural world. That's why I started North River Retreat - to pass on to future generations the outdoor experiences that I have enjoyed during my lifetime. As a Christian, I also want to instill in others a greater sense of appreciation for the beauty of the world that God created for all living things.
