AWA is proud to present the 2009 Martha Kostuch Annual Wilderness & Wildlife Lecturer, Richard Secord. Richard’s lecture will address the key environmentally significant cases that have been decided in Alberta in the last 20 years.

Richard Secord is a prominent Canadian and Alberta environmental lawyer and past AWA president. In March 2007, he was listed as one of Canada's Best Environmental Lawyers in the National Post's Best Lawyers in Canada series. Since 1988, he has appeared in more than 80 energy, utility and environmental hearings, often representing landowners with concerns about oil & gas developments.

Richard will also be presented with a Wilderness and Wildlife Defender's award, for his years of service to conservation in the province.

The 2009 Wilderness Defenders Award recipients are Richard Secord, James Tweedie and Judy Huntley.  Click here for more information on Wilderness Defenders Awards.
