The last 20 years of my life have been an adventure in nature filled with delight. Working for Whale Coast Conservation (WCC) and being a member of the Hermanus Bird Club and Hermanus Botanical Society has allowed me to explore so many fascinating aspects of our local biodiversity.

Tagging along with my colleague Sheraine van Wyk has allowed me to learn about chameleons and frogs and then share the privilege of that knowledge through the WCC Youth Environment Programme and our guided walks in nature.
