In the steps of my Father

My Father gave me my great love of the outdoors and all the animals that dwell there. We camped somewhere in the wilderness every weekend. We were always in the middle of nowhere British Columbia. We camped in our tiny trailer, Mom, Dad, me and my two sisters. We would go on hikes and Dad would explain all about the animals that live in this area and show us the plants we could eat and the ones to stay away from. I remember camping by a small lake and sitting by the campfire at night listening to the wolves howl and then watching them in the moonlight running on the hill on the other side of the lake.
When I became a teacher, I taught my students what my Dad had instilled in me. When I became a mother, my Dad and I taught my girls to respect nature. And now my daughter and I are teaching our grandsons to love nature and protect it.
I first became involved in wildlife conservation with PETA and the Save the Whales campaign. I now donate monthly to several conservation groups. I hope we can protect and save this planet for all the generations to come.
