Jen

Jennifer has always loved nature and learning about the wildlife around her. Growing up in Windsor, she spent a lot of time outdoors, and her first love was the insect life she found in her own backyard. She loves getting to know the native plants of this land, searching for birds, spotting herps, and sharing her passion for the many creatures that call Windsor-Essex home.

Carolyn

As a lover of nature and teaching, being outside learning about wildlife is my favourite hobby. I am always amazed by how much I discover every time I go on a nature walk. My goal is to encourage others to be curious about local biodiversity and to feel a connection with nature no matter where you are in Windsor-Essex County.
