Board Member
Rosemary is a naturalist and environmentalist, whose interest in conservation is rooted in a childhood spent in the foothills of the Himalayas, in India. She came to North America in 1960, after several years with the British Foreign Service, to take up a position in the British Mission to the United Nations, and has lived on this continent ever since. In 1971, she moved with her husband, Irving, to Vancouver, and she has lived in the Bulkley Valley since 1983. Her translation from Russian of Water Resources Law and Policy in the Soviet Union, was published in 1971 with a collection of accompanying essays edited by Irving Fox.
For the past thirty-five years, Rosemary has worked as a volunteer with various environmental organizations including the Sierra Club of British Columbia, the Canadian Nature Federation (now Nature Canada), the Federation of BC Naturalists (now BC Nature) and the Environmental Mining Council of BC. She is currently Conservation Chair of BC Nature and a Trustee of the Babine Watershed Monitoring Trust. Rosemary has been involved in a number of consensus-based land-use planning processes, including the Lower Stikine Management Advisory Committee; the Cassiar Iskut-Stikine Land and Resources Management Plan, and the Bulkley Valley Community Resources Board.
Her recreational interests include nature study, photography, canoeing and hiking and, last but not least, the family dogs.
