Kent and Ruth Goodwin were introduced to birdwatching at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary in Calgary in the l970’s. In 1982 they moved to the East Kootenay and continued to develop their natural history skills as members of the Rocky Mountain Naturalists Club and Kimberley Nature Park Society. Ruth, particularly, has been involved in developing bird checklists, participating in bird surveys, and leading outings. Much time is spent in one of their favourite places, the Kimberley Nature Park. They enjoy sharing this great municipal park with others!
