 Hi, my name is Kate and I am a volunteer warden at Middle Natch Island. And Middle Natch Island is a beautiful island that's out in the middle of the Georgia Strait. It's a jewel of the strait, it's an amazing nature reserve which was made into a park in I think the early 1960s. The park itself is not very big, it's a big rocky place but it's full of sea life from intertidal to thousands of birds nesting here. What we're here to do as wardens is to welcome people, introduce them to this incredible natural world, ask them to be respectful of the space. There are very simple trails that go across the island and up to what's called a bird blind where you can view the gulls and nesting. And we ask them to respect that, to stay on the trails, don't bring any pets on the island, no fires because as you can feel and see around you right now it's very dry, we're in the middle of August. Also if you're watching from the water, because many people come here by boat, in fact that's the only way to get here is by boat, you need to stay a respectful distance from the sea life, you need to stay about a hundred meters away from them and to cut off your engine and not idle it while you're watching so you don't disturb any sea life. One of the things that is important when you come to visit Menelach is that you come and what you take away is your experience rather than taking any shellfish because there's a lot of shellfish, there's a lot of stones, beautiful things to look at and admire but to not take that away with you. It's a park that is treasured by many and the whole point of it is to protect it.
