​​Myrna Pearman
​​I was born and raised in Rimbey, Alberta and joined the Red Deer River Naturalists while attending Red Deer College (Polytechnic). Over the years I have held several positions, including President, Vice-President, Speaker Committee Chair and Newsletter Editor. I was also involved in the original Habitat Steward program. After a 33-year career with Ellis Bird Farm, and following a visit to a beautiful protected area near Stettler, I was inspired to launch Nature Central and to relaunch the Habitat Steward Program.

I am an enthusiastic nature photographer, writer, kayaker and backroads rambler who enjoys sharing my love of nature through social media and on my website (www.myrnapearman.com).

I’m the Nature Central Coordinator with the Red Deer River Naturalists. I’m originally from Airdire, but I currently live in Bowden, Alberta. I studied at Red Deer College (Polytechnic) for 2 years before transferring to the University of Calgary to finish a Bachelor of Science in Zoology.

​I’ve been working as a wildlife biologist in Northern Alberta for the past 4 years, primarily focusing on breeding birds, waterfowl, and mammals. In my spare time, I enjoy birdwatching, hiking, kayaking, and camping.

This summer, I’m excited to learn more about our natural areas in Central Alberta, update our database, and help connect the community to the protected areas around us. ​
