2012-09-24 Lorne Fitch: An Extraordinary Advocate for Alberta’s Wild Spaces

Wild Lands Advocate article, August 2012, by Lindsey Wallis. Wallis profiles Lorne Fitch, a long-time defender of all things wild, and one of AWA's two Wilderness Defenders Award winners for 2012. Lorne will also be giving this year's Annual Lecture.

“The wild spaces in Alberta are certainly richer because of the work Lorne has done, and continues to do on their behalf. He says: ‘I have had the rich opportunity to stand on the shoulders of giants,’ referring to his predecessors and coworkers such as Elmer Kure, Carl Hunt, Duane Radford and many more. And we, as future Wilderness Defenders and lovers of wild places, are truly blessed to be able to stand on the wide, sturdy shoulders of Lorne Fitch.”
