Claudia Lipski - Buffalo Lake Nature Club
Claudia is President of the Buffalo Lake Nature Club and a member of the Nature Alberta Board of Directors. Her passion is to learn about nature and share in its discovery with others. She appreciates the many conservation properties that have been set aside in the Stettler region. Her philosophy is that it is not as important to "know" as it is to "notice" the wonders of nature because wonder leads to a desire to learn, explore and protect the natural places nearby.
