Hal kvisle biography

Hal Kvisle has nature in his blood. As the son of a biologist and dedicated conservationist, Hal grew up hiking and canoeing in the southern Alberta foothills and Red Deer River Conservation Region.

“The Red Deer River has carved a magnificent landscape through Alberta’s prairie lands, offering wonderful habitats for many species of birds and large mammals,” he says. “Every time I visit on foot or by canoe, I’m astounded by its immense natural beauty.”

Hal’s favourite river haunt is also a priority for the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC). NCC has been actively working to conserve habitat within the Red Deer River Conservation Region, which is home to the highest density of intact parkland in central Alberta, for more than a decade. Working together with landowners, partners and sponsors, NCC has conserved more than 3, hectares (7, acres) of native grasslands and wetlands.
