Cindy Verbeek left her city life for a rural Eden in northern BC, Canada, where the air was clean, bears nonchalantly wandered along the local high street and preserving nature was hardwired into community life. It might have seemed an ideal situation for a dedicated naturalist giving her life to conservation. In reality, many years of struggle, discouragement and isolation were to follow, before she learnt how to speak the heart language of her adopted home and everything changed.
If you have ever been tempted to give up, to bow out or run away from the challenges of caring for the world, you will find Cindy’s story both soothing and stirring. Fiercely courageous, funny and honest, she is as good a role model as any you’ll find for this costly vocation.
