🖐 Hi, my name's Milly Formby and I'm the creator of Wing Threads - a creative flying quest that aims to foster stewardship of wetland ecosystems using STEM education, art and adventure.I'm a pilot, zoologist and illustrator of the children's book, A Shorebird Flying Adventure (CSIRO Publishing, June 2022) and am currently on a mission called Wing Threads: Flight Around Oz, flying my microlight around Australia. This endeavour is bringing free STEM incursions directly to Australian classrooms and connecting urban, regional and remote primary school kids with their local wetlands by sharing the awesome journeys of migratory shorebirds! 🐦🛩Wing Threads: Flight Around Oz is a not-for-profit, fully self-funded science communication initiative based on the Australian Curriculum. It was created in collaboration with BirdLife Australia to contribute to educational objectives in their Migratory Shorebird Conservation Action Plan.To learn more about Wing Threads or to become a sponsor, shoot me an email at amellia.formby@wingthreads.com or visit my website:https://wingthreads.comBe part of the adventure LIVE on YouTube!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDt3XOvAwPCsSjuOoEbFizg👍 Like ✏ Comment 🔔 Subscribe🤳Join the Wing Threads flockFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wingthreads/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wingthreads/Twitter: https://twitter.com/wing_threads❓ Where is Microlight Milly now?
