Dawn comes by her passion for nature quite honestly. Her mother, a nurse and avid gardener, has always loved to be outdoors. With her father employed as a Park Conservation Officer, Dawn quickly came to love all the things in nature that she encountered daily in Saskatchewan's Provincial Parks.

 

She has been deeply influenced by the vast diversity of Canadian regions in which she has resided, from the big sky of Saskatchewan, to the vibrancy of the Yukon, the lush forests of B.C, to the colorful parks of Ontario.
