During the last decade, Luke has instructed for numerous wilderness awareness programs, led walks for the Finger Lakes Native Plant Society, and taught at the North East School of Botanical Medicine, Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine, and the Appalachian School Of Holistic Herbalism. Luke currently lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina, studying Appalachian ecology, photographing wildlife and making his living as an ethnobotany teacher and instructing for Forest Floor Wilderness Programs .
