Connecting Disability

Connecting disability to… the outdoors

Episode Summary

It’s hard to believe, but summer vacation is nearly half over. So, today we’re talking about the importance of getting outside. Leona Mattice is an avid birder from Elliot Lake, Ont., who has spent years encouraging those with disabilities to explore the natural world around them. She joins us today to talk about how birding helped her through grief, brought her love and what birds can teach us about life with a disability. We also test her knowledge of bird calls.
