I am a lover of nature and the outdoors, living on a farm where I engage in regenerative farming practices. As a dedicated wildlife advocate, I am passionate about caring for the environment and creating safe habitats for wildlife on my farm. My interests include bushwalking, keeping fit, and sustainable living, which reflect my commitment to a healthy and eco-friendly lifestyle.
