Heather has always loved being on the water. Her introduction to recreational paddling happened many decades ago, at a childhood summer camp and as a teen exploring the beautiful Birch Cove Lakes. After a very long hiatus, she has returned to her love of paddling and is learning how to become a more proficient canoeist as well as sea kayaker. As a senior woman who believes that you are never too old to learn new skills, and who believes that time spent in nature is essential to our physical and mental well-being, she is looking forward to finding ways to share her love of the outdoors with a diverse community of people of all ages who want to explore ways to safely get out on the water.
