2009 James Tweedie And Judy Huntley

James Tweedie and Judy Huntley, partners in life and in dedication to the land, have focused their conservation efforts in Alberta's south-west. While they act for the benefit of local communities, their work is always within the context of  broad, global perspectives.

Together, they have become a formidable force defending wilderness and wildlife and all who cannot speak out on behalf of critical lands such as the headwaters of the Castle and Oldman Rivers or the unique Whaleback. The respect James and Judy have within their community was evident when they were able to organize a rare rancher-environmental coalition to successfully fight a sour gas drilling program in the Whaleback. They are founding members of the Castle Crown Wilderness Coalition and have held active roles in many Alberta and Canadian environmental organizations, including AWA.
