== Personal life ==
Vance G. Martin (full name Vance Gregory Martin) was born July 20, 1949 in Washington, D.C., to Alyce Dickerson Martin, (deceased, 2013), and Thomas O. Martin, (deceased, 1994, a 25 year veteran of the FBI). He grew up mostly throughout the Maryland/Virginia/West Virginia area of the US, primarily in the suburbs. He spent as much of his free time as possible in the forests and fields of the Piedmont Region, and later (during university) in the Appalachian Mountains. In 1971, he graduated ''Magna Cum Laude'' from (West Virginia University ) with a Bachelor of Arts in English literature and minor studies in forestry and wildlife management.
After college, Martin lived and worked abroad in Asia and Europe for 13 years, including 10 years at The Findhorn Foundation in Scotland, as a senior manager and (sic) Director of Environmental Programs. During this time he met and began to work closely with author/explorer Sir Laurens van der Post and South African, international conservationist Dr. Ian Player. His life-long passion for nature developed into a professional, working commitment to understand, protect and communicate wilderness values and the irreplaceable role of wilderness in a healthy society. He currently lives in Boulder, Colo., and is in a domestic partnership with Carol L. Batrus. He has a son (Farren) and daughter (Felicia) from a previous marriage to Catherine (Kate) Martin (artist, teacher) and is grandfather to Veda Lee Martin. He is passionate about wild nature, trees, fly-fishing, oriental carpets, and antique trade beads.
