Forest Steward Spotlight: Tim Garland

What lead you to start working as a Forest Steward?

I love birds, and for years have spent countless hours in Discovery Park watching, photographing and generally enjoying the huge variety of bird species found in Discovery Park. Discovery Park has also been an important place for my kids – they both attended pre-school at Nature Kids, and learned about the many plants, insects, birds and mammals that live in the park from their [excellent] teachers.

Knowing this, one of my friends asked if I wanted to spend some time volunteering in the park, so I tried it out and really enjoyed it. When he moved away from the area, I took over his Forest Steward duties.
