2008 Diane & Mike McIvor

Diane and Mike McIvor have passionately and jointly defended Alberta’s wild lands for four decades, particularly in the Bow Valley, their home for many years. Intensely interested in both natural history and conservation, interests they believe are inseparable, they have conducted many bird and amphibian studies in the Bow Valley. They have been dedicated members of the Bow Valley Naturalists since the late 1960s, with Mike serving several terms as president. He also served as president of the Federation of Alberta Naturalists for two terms and as an Alberta Wilderness Association director for 13 years. Mike and Diane’s untiring conservation efforts have made a lasting contribution to conserving Wild Alberta for future generations.
