Dr Judy Friedlander is the founder of PlantingSeeds Projects, the environmental organisation whose flagship program is the B&B Highway. The B&B Highway (Bed and Breakfasts for Bees, Birds and Biodiversity) is an educational and practical program that links hundreds of B&Bs at schools in four Australian states to form regenerative corridors. Judy is also a University of Technology Sydney Adjunct Fellow.

When she is outside in nature, Judy becomes the kid she was – where a local creek, ‘rock bridge’, gum trees and ferns sheltered a wonderland of tadpoles, frogs, cicadas, birds and possums.
