2002 Steve Dixon

An active and skilled pilot for much of his life, Steve Dixon joyfully celebrated his bird's eye view of the natural earth. He was described as one of the spark plugs in the early formation of the Alberta Wilderness Association. His concerns about human overpopulation and the loss of wildlife and natural areas prompted an enthusiastic and vociferous advocacy for preserving wilderness values.  An avid hunter, he applied his conservationist principles to his farming operation, east of High River. With his mechanic's training, Steve also enjoyed inventing and building devices for improving farming efficiencies.
