Scout Island Nature Centre is a not-for-profit charitable institution that provides nature education and viewing to the public on island and marsh ecosystems within the City of Williams Lake.  Principal goals are nature education, especially for children; infrastructure to facilitate enjoyment and observation of nature; and conservation and enhancement of Scout Island habitats.  The Centre provides a system of nature viewing trails and displays, public nature programs, and many nature education courses for school children.  The Nature Centre is funded by grants, fees, contracts, and donations.  The Nature Centre is on unceded lands of the T’exelcemc, who are members of the Secwepemc Nation.

Note from the present Executive Director, Sue Hemphill

The Nature Centre is like a symphony.  First of all, all of the members of the orchestra (that includes, teachers, program participants, educators, dedicated volunteers and even the birds) love Scout Island and each brings a unique tone that makes up the symphony.  The conductor (executive director) has to bring energy, commitment, an idea of what the music could sound like, and creativity to bring it all together.  He/she has to have expertise in lots of things (or a commitment to developing that expertise) just like a conductor.  The conductor doesn’t play all of the instruments but understands the instruments abilities and how it contributes to the whole melody.

A love and fascination of nature is essential.  A biology background is really useful (from degrees or self study).  Organizational skills and the ability to have several balls in the air at once is also essential.  And–lots of energy.

This is the best job I have ever had and I intend to be around for a while to mentor the next lucky conductor of this symphony.
