Artist / Conservationist Kim Hunter was first introduced to the magnificence of Canada's Temperate Rain Forests in BC when opportunities as a young adult came about to donate works of art to save one of the last intact Old Growth forests in BC.

Coined "The Group of Seventy", artist, artisans and volunteers donated their time and work, in collaboration with the Wilderness Commitee, succeeded in helping to protect the Elaho Valley and Sims Creek and over 200 000 hectars of some of the last Temperate Old Growth Rain Forest in the Stoltman Wilderness.

Although born in BC, being raised in Churchill Manitoba, where the value of conservation, ecology, education and social contribution is the backbone of the community, the inate insinct to protect what little is left of BC's most intrinsic and spectacular ecosystems in the world became a labour of love. Tens of thousands of volunteer hours later, the appreciation and insatialble appetite to learn about our natural world has culminated into a most meaningful and enriching careers for this Artist and Conservationist.

It was over a decade ago when Artist / Conservationist Kim Hunter was asked to create her first Eco-Art educational murals, first for a children's dental office, then for wild salmon conservation efforts on behalf of the Hyde Creek Hatchery and Educational Center.
