The Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area is pleased to announce that Greg Shyba is its new Chief Executive Officer, leading the team of employees, volunteers and donors of the nonprofit charitable organization.

Mr. Shyba joins the Cross Conservation Area following an extensive career in the Calgary nonprofit community. He also has extensive not-for-profit experience as a senior volunteer at a local, regional and national level.

“Greg Shyba will lead our organization through a new period of expansion,” says Cross Conservation Area Chairman Dallas Droppo. “The Cross Conservation Area is embarking on a period of growth in its children's educational programs, public access to the land and its pursuit of conservation initiatives. His leadership comes at a time when the future looks bright."

The Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area is a not-for-profit charity that received a donation of 4,800 acres of rolling foothills land located just off Highway 22x. The mission of the organization is to foster conservation of habitat for native species of plants and wildlife. This spectacular area features over 20 kilometres of scenic hiking trails, including 8.3 kilometres of self-guided interpretative trails. The administrative building located on the land is used primarily for the education of children and adults about plant and animal conservation.

Over 91,000 youth and adults have participated in the education programs since the area opened in 1993.
