2006 Peter Sherrington

Since that pivotal day in 1993 when he counted 103 golden eagles in one day soaring over the Mount Lorette area, Peter Sherrington has worked to ensure a legacy of stewardship that he hopes will benefit future generations. “As long as these birds have a future,” he says, “so do we.” Sherrington, a past president of AWA, has been a member for 30 years and served on the board for 10. His dedicated tracking of the migrating golden eagles came after retiring from a 30-year career in oil and gas. Since then, he has given about 250 presentations on the magnificent raptors, evidence of his passion for spreading environmental literacy.
