I was honoured to be featured and recognized by The Narwhal for my work to make birding more inclusive for all, especially for BIPOC ( Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) and women here in BC.

I also did a short interview for Best Health Magazine about the mental health benefits of birding. You can read that one HERE Melissa Hafting at Iona for The Narwhal by Alia Youssef
