ECOHH extends its condolences to board member Rocky Feroe.
"We are very sorry to share the passing of Eric Gormley, one of the founders of ERVCC and a gentle human being and friend. Eric cared deeply about the river valley and did so much important work researching its history and standing up for its protection.
"If you would like to honour Eric, please donate to the Prairie Crocus Fund or the ERVCC River Valley Fund. Both are for land acquisition and conservation in partnership with Edmonton and Area Land Trust.
"Here are links to both: https://ecf.ca/funds/prairie-crocus-fund/ and https://ecf.ca/funds/ervcc-river-valley-fund/"

Donate to the Prairie Crocus Fund at Edmonton Community Foundation.
