Peter Downie is the program co-ordinator for SAILS at Bayside - a community outreach program of the Anglican church that takes people out on the waters of Moreton Bay. They have a public program that's open to anyone, but they also partner with other community groups to provide opportunities for people who would be unlikely to have the access otherwise - youth at risk, and refugees, for example.
It's inspiring - and thought-provoking - to hear how small moments on Moreton Bay that many of us would take for granted may actually be a turning point in someone else's life.
This episode runs a little bit longer, because the world needs more stories of humans and the environment that warm the heart!
Join me on the blog for a few thoughts on why diversity and inclusion are so important to conservation, and to our community coastal capacity.
