A life-long biologist from about the age of 8 when I began collecting insects. I have been a professor of biology at Trinity Western University for 25 years, specializing in plant ecology and weed science, and preservation of biodiversity. Trinity Western University has been blessed with three beautiful natural areas that we steward: the Crow's Nest Ecological Research Area (Salt Spring Island), the Blaauw Eco Forest (east of Fort Langley), and our Ecosystem Study Area (Langley campus of Trinity Western University).
