Kimberly Epp

Kimberly was raised on a grain farm near Rosthern. Working for a Swiss family she met at her summer job in Lake Louise for two years, and for a Bavarian family 4 years later.  Young Kimberly was able to travel and hike extensively in Europe, sealing her inspiration to protect and share nature as a career. 

Her early education included assisting in onsite research on snow geese and Arctic foxes in Nunavut. Summer work included a job with the Alberta Park Service while awaiting entry into Saskatchewan’s conservation officer program. After a few years at Beaver Creek, she became involved with Nature Saskatchewan and the Burrowing Owl Educational Centre. 

To mention her many roles and projects, accomplished despite a long struggle with Lyme disease, is beyond our current scope; suffice it to say she has written hundreds of columns in publications such as Nature Saskatchewan’s Blue Jay magazine, often emphasizing wildlife rehabilitation; and with Moose Jaw Nature Society, she administers programs through the MJNS, and these often include programs for the whole family. 

Continuing to be treasured as a mainstay of Nature’s Moose Jaw, Kimberly now adds to it a new program, “Wild About Moose Jaw,” promoting the planting of pollinator gardens. The first seed exchange will take place following a presentation by both Nature Regina and Nature Moose Jaw at the MJ Library on April 27, 2025, for Earth Week. 

Kimberly is inspired to run as a Green Party candidate by her ongoing desire to protect and nurture the planet and all the animals that reside on it with humans.
