SUMMARY:Annual General Meeting with Guest Kevin Van Tighem

Kevin argues that now\, more than ever\, we need to find better stories\, founded on deeper relationships with places and the other beings with whom we share them. Based on his newest book\, Understory: An Ecologist’s Memoir of Loss and Hope\, he’ll share a few of his own stories and learnings after a lifetime in the wild places of our western plains\, foothills and mountains.\n\n\nKevin Van Tighems’ Alberta roots extend back to 1875. He worked for over thirty years in western Canada’s National Parks as a Naturalist\, Ecologist\, Warden and Park Superintendent. Kevin is a life-long Conservationist and is the author of fifteen books\, including his most recent release: Understory: An Ecologist’s Memoir of Loss and Hope. He was recently awarded an honorary Doctor of Science by the University of Lethbridge\, has received the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s Robert Bateman Award\, and now has a Blackfoot name translating to Rapid Rough Water. He lives with his wife\, Gail\, in High River.

Poles if you have them.\n\nNo Membership Required: This event is open to all – no membership to RDRN is necessary.\n\nNote: Events are subject to cancellation due to weather conditions and other factors.
