The successful program was founded on the principle that anyone was welcome no matter their gender, sexual orientation or race. Melissa believes in making birding accessible for everyone and has worked hard to make birding more diverse and equitable in her community. She has a strong passion for birding and loves to travel to see different birds around the world. Melissa is an eBird reviewer for the province and believes there is still much work to be done to ensure birding and environmental spaces are truly diverse and safe for all. She is also passionate about seeing more women and women of colour in this field. Melissa is a conservationist who is passionate about educating about the plights birds face such as habitat loss, degradation, and climate change. She has fought for many environmental concerns in her community and province and has made a successful Tree Swallow and Purple Martin nest box program in the city of Richmond. She is an ecologist who was featured on the CBC documentary “Rare Bird Alert” and last year she finished her first book Dare To Bird which is available now. She is the recipient of BC Nature’s Daphne Solecki Award for her work with youth and was an adult finalist for the Canadian Museum of Nature’s 2021 Nature Inspiration Awards. Melissa currently runs the Rare Bird Alert website.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;outline:transparent solid 0px;max-width:100%"><br /></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;text-align:center">ABOUT "BIRDING WITH ME" SERIES</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline">Come Birding with Me and learn about our local birds on free, guided bird walks that celebrate diversity in bird and human communities.
