Cathy Steele: RDRN Liaison
I grew up in a military household and we moved around every three to four years, living in Ontario, NWT, Germany and Alberta.  My family instilled a love of travel, exploring and an appreciation of nature and culture. 

My husband and I incorporated lots of outdoor appreciation as we were raising our three children, including hiking, biking, camping, skiing/snowboarding and water activities.  We are happiest when our time is spent in nature.
​
I enjoy nature breaks and photography with a focus on birds, wildlife and wildflowers.  Nature lifts my spirit and feeds the soul!

​​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).
