British Columbia Conservation Officer (retired)
Game Warden Historian and Insignia Collector

I worked as a forest assistant, park ranger and fishery guardian beginning in 1981, and most recently I was a conservation officer in British Columbia for 29 years. For most of my conservation officer career I was a collector of patches, flashes and badges from specific Fish and Wildlife enforcement agencies. I have also researched the history of the BC Conservation Officer Service and put together a history display of the agency which was used at the 2005 NAWEOA conference as well as at our Provincial Museum. I also put together displays for the agencies that border on BC and work with our officers on a regular basis.

There are links below to let you view many of the items I have collected and the displays I have put together.

I also collect and enjoy Game Warden books and for 12 years I wrote a column on the subject in International Game Warden magazine

I was the COS historical expert beginning around 2003, and became the official COS History & Heritage Specialist in 2016, until my retirement in 2021.

Enjoy and happy collecting. Bookmark now so you can come back soon.
