Lee-Anne on a 'rocky mountain high' in the Royal Group.

Fernie Nature Tours is a program of the Wildsight Elk Valley Branch. Wildsight works to protect biodiversity and encourage sustainable human communities in Canada's Southern Rocky Mountain eco-region.

The lead interpretive naturalist/guide is Lee-Anne Walker. Lee-Anne has been sharing the natural and human heritage of the local area with visitors since 1983. Her stories are rich with personal experiences, time spent sharing tea with old-timers, interviews with local experts in their field, and active participation in local conservation efforts.

Using her vast knowledge base, creative presentation style and enthusiasm, Lee-Anne weaves together an experience you will treasure as part of your memory to Fernie and the Rocky Mountains. Whether storytelling, performing magic tricks, playing games, or directing reflective energy, her style engages the participants with a focus on fun. She has led audiences from 1 to 91 and enjoys interacting with people from around the world.

As a professional interpreter locally since 1983, Lee-Anne is dedicated to the work of the conservation community in the region and is a member of Interpretation Canada-BC Section, Federation of BC Naturalists, Wildsight, Elk Valley Young Naturalist Club and Fernie and District Historical Society. For visitor safety and comfort she has extensive backcountry experience, strong outdoor skills, is trained in wilderness first aid, has a Class 4 drivers license and to top it off she bakes delicious brownies.

Proceeds from all tours go to support the Wildsight Elk Valley Branch.
