We were saddened to learn of the passing of Jane White. It is with warm hearts that we remember Jane, honouring all that she contributed to the CORAH community.

Jane was a regular at CORAH for the past 6 years, where she took great joy in sharing her passion and love of the natural world. Her many presentations included topics such as birds, flowers, travel, and personal stories and photography. Anyone who attended one of Jane’s presentations would be sure to leave with more knowledge and a smile on their face.

Jane’s curiosity and appreciation for the natural world included all things great and small. May you rest in peace and nature, Jane. 💜
