Sonya Richardson and Sean Morton have trekked for 556 days and hiked more than 14,000 km on the Trans Canada Trail crossing the nation from Cape Spear Newfoundland to Victoria British Columbia. In their presentation they share stories of their time on 28,000 km The Trans Canada Trail, the world’s longest recreational trail, and highlight how easy it is to get outdoors, be an explorer, and enjoy nature – whether in your own backyard, the backwoods, or in the Boreal Forest. In addition, they talk about Important Bird Areas, share a few simple steps that anyone can take to help birds, and note a few free Apps, such as iNaturalist, that people can use to become involved in conservation through Citizen Science.
Dr. Sonya Richmond worked for over 10 years at Bird Studies Canada and the Canadian Wildlife Service dedicated to researching and protecting migratory birds and their habitat.
Sean Morton is a professional landscape photographer who has had his images published in trail and nature magazines across Canada as well as winning a number of photography awards.
