Heather Harbord – “Mitlenatch Island”
by Andrew Bryant, 20 Feb 2013. 

Heather, Claudia Boelke  and Janet Southcott shared images and anecdotes of lovely Mitlenatch island and its rich wildlife.  The club has run day trips there aboard Misty Isles for several years, including another successful visit in May 2013.

We learned what it was like to live on the island for a week, and about the scientific programs in which the wardens participate.
