Gen Broad certainly learned about roof raising during her work with marine ecology in the Philippines as she lost her roof to typhoons several times. She also witnessed the eruption of a local volcano.
Whilst in the Philippines, she worked with local people on bio diversity and encouraged them to look after their environment by stopping dynamiting and cyaniding fish. In between, she discovered a new bird, the Calayan Rail.
Now she works in Essex, where she says she continues to spread the message that our world needs protecting.
Our next meeting is at Rushden on Thursday 20th July at 8pm when Baldock Flower Arrangers will demonstrate their skills.
