Felicity Bairstow is a long time volunteer at The Wetlands Centre and serves on the team of the Wildflower Society of Western Australia – Murdoch Branch. She calls herself a lifelong nature nerd from country WA. She has spent the last 20 or so years working to conserve bushland and wetlands south of the Swan river here in Perth. A lot of that time went into the long campaign to protect the North Lake Reserve from Roe Highway Stage 8. She is now a co-convenor of the Community Wildlife Corridor group which has the vision of transforming the now partially cleared road reserve into a wildlife corridor and trail for people to enjoy and learn about the amazing plants, animals and culture of this area. Felicity is a wildflower expert, but at the same time won't let you miss the local birds, wildlife or insects.
