I am passionate about solutions to counteract climate change, biodiversity loss and human mental and physical health issues caused by alienation from nature. I have been studying native plants and their associated fauna, soil and societal norms. Science and traditional Indigenous knowledge offer powerful and often very simple solutions to these daunting problems of our time. I have gained practical knowledge through the experience of converting my garden into a pollinator paradise, sharpening my observation skills and organizing community volunteer work for the CliffcrestButterflyway. We are in a time when positive environmental change gets embraced exponentially. Therefore, I am passionate about fostering admiration through a deeper understanding and connection to our own nature. This spark will often set people on fire or, as the elders say, wake up one's blood memory to reconnect, act and inspire others.
