For over one hundred years the Gould League has played a major role in educating school children on the protection and conservation of bird life and then more broadly to all native flora and fauna. “Gould League of Bird Lovers: Badges, Certificates and Ephemera” is the definitive reference book for collectables issued by all Australian state branches of the Gould League. The catalogue is both informative & beautifully presented making it the ideal guide for collectors, historians & nature lovers. This book will provide a nostalgic journey for the millions of ‘bird lovers’ in country towns and cities across Australia who signed up as members, took the Pledge, wore the badge with pride, cherished the colourful certificates, entered competitions and collected pennants, posters and stickers. “I could not put it down! I loved it all from learning how each Chapter came about to seeing the wonderful certificates and badges produced. It was a heartfelt nostalgic walk down memory lane and a great reminder of the incredible work done by generations of environmental educators.”
