The following profile on Mike Roth is the final Profile on Parade that will be written in this phase of the restoration project. The Haig-Brown Kingfisher Creek Society's Implementation Committee, along with two intrinsic staff members, have been the only subjects of this Profiles section. Although they are important, there are many more people who have contributed incredible amounts of time and effort over the years, and who deserve recognition. This may come about in later editions of the Creekside News, but for now we can only appreciate the effort that they have put in...

Chances are, one's first impression after meeting Mike Roth would be that of a large strong man with a personality to match. His humour seems to bring light to any conversation, partially explaining the apparent comfort and ease that he displays in most circumstances. This charm, along with his environmental impact assessment background, has allowed him to acquire valuable experience in his field.

He is currently coordinating educational programs for the Discovery Coast Greenways Land Trust, a project that involves countless agencies and organizations. His realistic attitude, and ability to keep issues in perspective, are two traits which are essential when organizing for the large numbers of stakeholders who are bound to be involved in any such project.
