Wanda received her BA in psychology (1987) and her Honours BSW (2017) from Western University, London ON. Growing up, she was fortunate to experience nature from a canoe in the back country of Algonquin Park and during summer stays at the cottage. She is relatively new to LWI but has learned a lot from LWI’s indoor and outdoor presentations; mussels, Chimney Swifts, bird walks and fungi forays are just a few examples. Wanda’s interests include birding, canoeing, camping and protecting natural areas. She aspires to help remove barriers for people with disabilities to the natural environments around them. Wanda sought to join LWI’s board to increase her involvement and to give back to an organization that has done remarkable work in preserving and conserving the natural environment in Lambton County.

Lifelong birder and naturalist, with a special interest in dragonflies, butterflies and herptiles, James has spend the past three decades as a consulting biologist engaged in breeding bird surveys and species-at-risk evaluations throughout North America. A recent move to north Lambton reignited a sense of discovery and possibility and has inspired James to make an effort to protect the many vulnerable, unique habitats present in Lambton Shores. James feels my involvement with the LWI board is a way to further those efforts by working with the strong network of talented people within Lambton Wildlife.

Dale was born and raised in Sarnia and worked in local industry for a number of years before moving to Ohio, where he completed his career as a laboratory manager. While living in Ohio he gained a passion for nature photography with a focus on birding and butterflies. During his time in Ohio Dale was also a Toledo area Nature Conservancy volunteer on their numerous properties and also participated in the Toledo Naturalist Organization events. What originally started out as an interest in birding and butterflies grew to include Dragonflies, insects and all the other gifts of nature. The adventure continues in Lambton County.
