Larry Halverson is being presented with the 2022 Nature Inspiration lifetime achievement award by the Canadian Museum of Nature. This video was recorded in Invermere, British Columbia where friends and colleagues marked the occasion on Saturday, Oct. 22, 2022.
The award presentation is on November 14, 2022, at a ceremony hosted by the museum, which is Canada’s national museum of natural history and natural sciences.
The Canadian Museum Nature is honouring Larry with the award, not just for his nearly four-decades-long career as a naturalist with Parks Canada, but also for his extensive volunteer efforts to help protect the natural environment of the Columbia Valley, and indeed the planet as a whole.
The volunteering includes co-founding the valley’s now-famous Wings Over the Rockies Festival some 25 years ago; the East Kootenay Conservation Project; the Canadian Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Network; the B.C. Biodiversity Centre for Wildlife Studies; Nature Scape B.C.; the Columbia Basin Living Landscape; the Wild Bird Trust of B.C; the B.C. Frog Watch Program; the E-Flora and E-Fauna B.C. electronic atlases; the College of the Rockies and; countless other initiatives.
