Over the past several years, RDRN has conducted and/or funded projects at other venues with aims that correlate with ours. Some those include:

Kerry Wood Nature Centre

Solar Power: RDRN purchased solar panels for installation on the roof of the Nature Centre. The array has since been expanded.

Common Alberta trees: Originally they were planted to provide members of the Young Naturalists Club a place to inspect trees. Most are located in the grasslands south of the staff parking lot.

Native Plant Garden: We are indebted to the Red Deer Garden Club for maintaining this garden. It is located to the south of the main doors of the Kerry Wood Nature Centre.
