Marcy Prior has been involved with the Haig-Browns for many years. Although she has sat on the Haig-Brown Kingfisher Creek Implementation Committee for only 3 years, she has been the Haig-Brown property gardener for many more. Working for Ann Haig-Brown for six years, then continuing on as the property’s gardener, led her to form strong connections with the Haig-Brown Kingfisher Creek Society. Eventually, Van Egan asked her to become involved in the project. In light of her previous involvement with environmental organizations, such as Georgia Strait Alliance, Quadra Island Salmon Enhancement Society, and Friends of Strathcona Park, it was a natural move to involve her in the project. Moreover, Marcy’s long term residence (32 years) in the Oyster River Area, and her participation on the Board of Directors for the Society have also added to her qualifications.

Marcy, in her position as the Vice President of the Haig-Brown Kingfisher Creek Implementation Committee, brings a very practical and down to earth attitude to the Board. Marcy has a qualified perspective on what is best for the creek ecologically, due to her horticulture background and her knowledge and familiarity with the Haig-Browns and the property.
