Join Alicia Bridge and her guest Gail Mitchell of the Cowichan Valley, as they wander through the nuances of being a naturalist, building lifelong relationships with birds, and habitat conservation. Gail joined the Victoria Junior naturalist in 1956 at the age of 12, under the mentorship of the renowned Freeman "Skipper" King. She holds a BSc majoring in Botany and held a position as a biology and botany lab instructor at the University of Victoria. She is now a grandmother, the former president of the Cowichan Valley Naturalist Society and current volunteer at the Cowichan Estuary Nature Centre. Her love for birds is contagious.
