Donna Sandstrom

Donna Sandstrom became interested in orcas when she moved to Seattle and started dreaming about them. In 2002, she was a community organizer in the effort to return Springer, an orphaned orca, to her pod. The life-changing experience inspired her to start The Whale Trail, a series of sites where people can watch whales from shore. She lives in Seattle, Washington.
