Robert Nero, Naturalist

My grandfather, Robert Nero, moved to Regina from Madison, Wisconsin in the 1950s with his young family, including my mother who was just an infant at the time. They later moved to Winnipeg, where he worked for the rest of his life as a wildlife researcher, as well as a semi-amateur archaeologist. In the 1980s he rescued an abandoned baby owl and took it home to raise. For more than two decades this owl, named Lady Gray'l, lived in a pen in his backyard and travelled throughout the province educating people on our environment and the need to protect it.
