On a sunny afternoon in late August 2024, Nina Newington met up with Gini Proulx and had a great conversation about citizen science. Gini is a citizen science trailblazer in Southwest Nova Scotia – even before “citizen science” became a thing. Gini shared her stories with Nina and talks passionately about her adventures adventures observing and documenting the natural world from her family’s camp near the Tobeatic and all along the Digby Neck and everything in between!
