Shaye Hill NATURALIST IN RESIDENCE I was born and raised in the Lacombe area, developing a love of nature at a young age. I am taking my B.Sc. in Wildlife and Fisheries at the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George, BC. I spent two summers at Ellis Bird Farm, leading programs, conducting bird inventories, conducting bat counts and undertaking my own research project on Mountain Bluebirds. I am excited to lead the Nature Central program. I look forward to learning about the biodiversity of Central Alberta, and helping provide people with the opportunity to go outdoors and experience first hand the wonders of Central Alberta and to appreciate these protected areas! |
Sherry Scheunert ASSISTANT NATURALIST I was born and raised in Huxley, AB, with Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park and Tolman Bridge as my playgrounds. I attended Red Deer College and the University of Alberta, graduating with a B.A. in Recreation Administration. My work and volunteer experiences have included leading various programs in recreation, health care and the performing arts. I still enjoy camping, hiking, biking, skiing and paddling. My environmental activism began in 1990 with CAGE (Citizens Action Group on the Environment). I then became involved with RDRN, taking on the roles of secretary and monthly program coordinator. I love event planning and look forward to a great summer with Shaye and learning lots more about the beauty and diversity of the Parklands of Central Alberta. |
Myrna Pearman RDRN/NC Liaison I have been involved with RDRN since the early 1980s. Now that I’m retired from Ellis Bird Farm, I look forward to dedicating more of my time to this great organization. I have been RDRN President, chaired the speakers committee for about 10 years, and have been the newsletter editor for about 15 years. It is my great pleasure to now be the RDRN liaison for a wonderful initiative that we are spearheading: Nature Central—Celebrating Our Wild Alberta Parklands. |
