In Loving Memory

Canadian native Robert Perkins and his love Rhonda met at sixteen years old. The two bonded over their passion for the outdoors, and dreamt of one day building their own little place in the woods together.
🦫❤️ A lifetime in the making... Rhonda passed tragically in 2006. And ever since, the Nova Scotian man has dedicated himself to keeping her memory alive by building a wildlife refuge sanctuary right in his backyard.
- The wetland area now includes eight ponds of different sizes surrounded by vegetation and animal residents.
- Robert says he's proud of the habitat, and feels Rhonda around him constantly.
- "I couldn't walk away from her," he shared with CBC. "If I'm here, she's here."
