I was lucky to spend many summer beach days in Long Point and West Mabou, Cape Breton Island growing up. Two very magical places. Even at a young age, I knew these protected areas were environmentally significant. It was only as an adult did I realize how important they are for birds. After many years fundraising for education and hospice, I’m excited to help protect these magical places and birds along with you! e-mail: tgergich @ birdscanada.org
