On this Earth Day, I had the privilege to listen to Dr. Jane's stories for the third time. It has always been a powerful reminder for me to continue doing what I do and believing in what I do. Thank you for being the HOPE by giving it. @JaneGoodallInst#EarthDay#JaneGoodall
Sept 1 2020 and poor exhausted barred owl in Richmond - I’m at a loss as to how I can stop unethical photographers - suspicious amount of mice too - I suspect baiting as well as hounding 😞 not a good start to September 😞 #barredowl#birds#richmondmoments#wildlife#nature

Pepa and Worsley's nest at Wasaga Beach is the first one to successfully fledge three chicks! Look at how much they've grown in less than two weeks! Thanks to everyone who has respected their beach space and allowed these chicks to grow into healthy plovers! #OntarioPlovers
Everyone stay calm while we introduce you to our newest @marinemammalrescue patient, Joey. He was discovered orphaned, hypothermic and hypoglycaemic near Kyuquot. He was flown into Vancouver Friday morning and is now stabilizing, resting and feeding well under 24/7 care.
