Laura Griffin grew up in Calgary and her love for the great outdoors drove her passion for wildlife and nature. A naturalist, she shares her knowledge as an interpreter/guide in Alberta parks and as an instructor in a local post-secondary institution. In her free time, she volunteers in wildlife groups.

She believes that “Our community is made up of all living things”, that wild animals are neighbours with whom we share the land and that they provide essential ecological services often little known to us.

This monthly blog is introducing us to animals and aspects of our landscape that are often little known. Her stories are fun, informative and intriguing.

The articles were first written for the High Country News and are proud to share them with you in this blog.

Enjoy!
