About MotherNature
Hello, I am Dove Windsor. I am an animal carer and I am interested in nature and the social outdoors.
Student I'm interested in sustainability, transitions, climate change, community engagement in environmental and social issues, disaster management and conflict resolution. I've lived and travelled in various places around the world and have done many different things, like teaching ESL, farming, professional work, research, etc. I also like to think I have learned a great deal, but really, my learning has made me realise that I know very little and that there is always much more to learn. As I keep learning, I like to share what I do know, which is why I like Designing Buildings. Hopefully, the occasional small edits I add here and there are of help to the wider community. If you ever want to drop me a note, please do!
