Kimberly Epp for Moose Jaw North

Kimberly Epp seeks to bring her lifelong experience as a conservationist and educator to the Legislature as Moose Jaw North's MLA. A talent like hers is vitally needed in government to advocate for the natural world on which our human lives are so dependent.

Kimberly was raised on a grain farm near Rosthern. Working for a Swiss family she met on her summer job at Lake Louise for two years, and for a Barvarian family 4 years later.  Young Kimberly was able to travel and hike extensively in Europe, sealing her inspiration to protect and share nature as a career. 

Her early education included assisting in onsite research on snow geese and Arctic foxes in Nunavut. Summer work included a job with Alberta Park Service while awaiting entry into Saskatchewan's conservation officer program. After a few years at Beaver Creek, she became involved with Nature Saskatchewan and the Burrowing Owl Educational Centre. 

To mention her many roles and projects, accomplished despite a long struggle with Lyme disease, is beyond our current scope; suffice it to say she has written hundreds of columns in publications such as Nature Saskatchewan's Blue Jay magazine, often emphasizing wildlife rehabilitation; and with Moose Jaw Nature Society, she administers programs through the MJNS, and these often include programs for the whole family. 

Continuing to be treasured as a mainstay of Nature Moose Jaw, Kimberly now adds to it a new program, "Wild About Moose Jaw", promoting the planting of pollinator gardens. The first seed exchange will take place following a presentation by both Nature Regina and Nature Moose Jaw at the MJ Library on April 27 for Earth Week.
