Who we are
The brainsapling of creators Brad Einstein and Kyle Niemer, Tree Huggers Comedy melds stunning visuals, unexpected humor, and the odd person in an animal costume to create nature documentaries that are a little John Muir, a little John Oliver, and a little John Cougar Mellencamp (provided he was an actual cougar). Through our explorations of America’s wild wonders and the issues facing them, we have been named Crater Lake National Park’s 2019 Artists-In-Residence, the 2020 USDA Forest Service’s “Voices of the Wilderness” for The Kootznoowoo Wilderness, and have helped secure funding for the first-ever educational signage at the Pando Clone Forest, the largest organism on earth. Our work has been featured in The Salt Lake Tribune, and is currently streaming on Outside Online.
