She has also written and submitted pieces to her local newspapers.
Zara has also been a dedicated volunteer at the Powdermill Nature Reserve bird banding station. As of her record book submission, she had clocked in 48 hours as a volunteer bander! You can see photos of here here below, banding birds and helping to enter data into their computer system, which lets the banders track and monitor the birds.
