RMERF participated at the 24th annual Alberta Wilderness Association Tower Climb held Saturday April 18th, 2015, one of the booths of the Wild Alberta Expo, held as an opportunity to educate and create awareness of our environment and have citizens learn, participate, and take action. Thanks to intern student Samantha Kirkpatrick, and Heinz Unger and Claire Bourret. Also during the closing ceremony of the Tower Climb, Ian Sherrington, on behalf of the Sherrington family, presented the Barbara Sherrington Memorial Prize for the most outstanding display in the Wild Alberta Expo in memory of Barbara Sherrington, a wonderful school teacher and dear friend and supporter of AWA. The displays were judged based on a number of elements including: visual attractiveness; level of interest; opportunity for interaction; engagement of the public and staff; and volunteer knowledge of their programs and/or products.

On Sept 23, 2014, Peter Sherrington gave a talk at the Glenbow Ranch. There were about 20 attendees and he presented on the migration, changes in the population and how the eagles are migrating later than they did 20 years ago. Sue de Caen at the Glenbow Ranch set up the talk which was preceded by a nature walk to look for birds including raptors. Attached are some photos from the event.
