 | We are so proud of our part in 125 Nature Hot Spots of Alberta--it's an amazing undertaking by Leigh and Debbie and we highly recommend it! 125 Nature Hot Spots in Alberta is the just-published book by co-authors Debbie Olsen and Leigh McAdam. It is a book welcomed by nature-lovers across province as it highlights a huge cross-section of natural spaces in Alberta, both those that are widely known as well as many unique hidden treasures. Olsen and McAdam put a huge effort into researching for the book, doing the challenging mosquito-swatting navigatory work so that readers don't have to. The book has big glossy photographs and lots of helpful information. Finally, both Olsen and McAdam are old friends and supporters of Ellis Bird Farm and we are so proud that EBF included in the book (you can see the EBF spread on pages 140-143). Purchase this book at Ellis Bird Farm gift shop or on Amazon.ca here Interview on CTV CALGARY... A PART OF THE CTV NEWS VIDEO NETWORK here |

Thanks to a grant from Dow, Ellis Bird Farm has embarked on a very important project documenting the history of both Ellis Bird Farm and the Prentiss site. Many early EBF board members, Prentiss site team leaders, and neighbours of Charlie and Winnie have been interviewed. Todayville of Red Deer has been retained to produce a series of short interview vignettes. The first of many interviews -- with EBF founding chair, Morris Flewwelling -- has now been posted. Stay tuned for future postings!
