Who We Are

The people behind the experiences

Jill Moore

Jill Moore

Founder, Creator & Chief Nature-Lover

Jill has a background in education and is a Certified Master Naturalist. Her goal is to foster an appreciation for our rich Lowcountry landscape through personalized programming and exciting outdoor experiences. Her love for outdoor living and learning started young, spending summers in Montana, and when she moved to the Lowcountry in 2008 as a teacher, she was one of the first to enroll in a certification course through the Lowcountry Master Naturalist Association. Jill relocated to South Carolina to embrace outdoor living with her family and has since built a life rooted in the landscapes she now shares with others.

Mollie Kinard

Mollie Kinard

Educator, Master Naturalist & Outdoor Enthusiast

Mollie, a native of Hilton Head, is an educator and a lover of all things wild. She earned her Master Naturalist certification in 2018 and taught at a small private school on the island across all age groupings. Mollie is also a certified Doula and Yoga instructor for both adults and children. She has traveled and lived all over the world and, as a testament to this place, chose to move back to lay down roots and grow her family. Mollie enjoys time with her husband Brian, daughter Clementine, and son Cash, exploring the waterways and cruising the southeast in their travel trailer.

About Us

Founded by Jill Moore, Moore to Life inspires people to discover the rich connections between nature, history, and culture throughout the Lowcountry. Alongside Jill is Mollie Kinard, a Lowcountry native whose deep appreciation for the region's landscapes, heritage, and communities helps bring these stories to life.

As Certified Master Naturalists, Jill and Mollie believe that understanding a place begins with experiencing it. Through a place-based approach to education, they guide participants in exploring the ecosystems, history, and traditions that have shaped the Lowcountry while encouraging curiosity, observation, and a sense of connection to the world around them.

Through guided experiences, educational programs, field trips, and community engagement, Moore to Life encourages people of all ages to observe closely, ask questions, and develop a meaningful relationship with the world around them. Our goal is not simply to teach about nature, history, or culture, but to reveal how they come together to shape the Lowcountry and our shared experience within it.
