Mr. Bubar’s passion for nature stems from his many years working in remote parts of Canada as an exploration geologist living in tents and traversing the land mapping the geology. The opportunity to regularly see both beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife, in addition to rocks and minerals, made it an unforgettable and inspiring experience.
