Come Walk With Us is a 4-year pilgrimage along the 27, 000 km Trans Canada Trail – the world’s longest trail. Dr Sonya Richmond is a biologist and researcher who has worked on many ornithological and conservation projects, and received numerous awards and grants for her work. Sean Morton is an award-winning landscape and nature photographer whose work has been published in numerous magazines. Their goal is to inspire people of all ages, physical abilities, cultural backgrounds, genders, orientations, and identities, and especially youth, to connect to nature through birds and Citizen Science. They are walking west from Cape Spear, NL to Victoria, BC and then north to Tuktoyaktuk, NT, planning to finish in 2023.
