My name is Linda Bakker and as a newcomer to this country, I am amazed by its beauty. I want to enjoy the mountains, forests and ocean as well as protect it. Therefore, I am a member of the Executive Committee of the Sierra Club, Lower Mainland Group. I moved here from the Netherlands where I studied Environmental Science and have been working as an environmental consultant for five years. I work at the Wildlife Rescue Association of BC as a wildlife rehabilitator and volunteer coordinator in Burnaby.
