Perks REPLAY S. 4 Ep. 92 - Riding and Writing with the Butterflies with guest Sara Dykman - 3-22-23

This week we are focusing on butterflies and biking in book form. Sara Dykman is an adventurer and wildlife biologist whose focus is primarily amphibians. Several years ago, however, she felt a calling to bring awareness to the plight of the Monarch butterfly. So she took her adventurer spirit and migrated on her bike along with the Monarch from Mexico to Canada and back again. Her 10,000 mile journey is the focus of her memoir/ environment/ adventure/nature book titled Bicycling with Butterflies.
