Volunteer profile: Bernie the Blue-Tongued Lizard

Even lizards can be community-minded. Bernie the Blue-Tongued Lizard, who likes eating crickets and sunning himself on rocks, dropped in to the VT Burnie office recently to tell us about his volunteering work with Coastal Family Day Care’s Communities for Children program on the North West Coast.
