Larry Lamb
1949-2024
Larry Lamb, a long time member and supporter of Waterloo Region Nature, passed away on July 19 after a lengthy illness. He was 75.
On retirement from his position of manager of the Ecology Laboratory in the Faculty of Environmental Studies at the University of Waterloo, Larry and his wife Amy Burke moved to Woodstock. He kept in regular contact with his many friends and associates and continued his involvement in various projects in Waterloo region.
Larry received both the Conservation Award and an Honorary Life Membership from WRN. A full account of Larry’s many accomplishments and associations can be found online in the Waterloo Region Record obituary of Lawrence Edward Lamb, which appeared on July 24.
Larry was an accomplished garden designer. The lovely East-West Garden at Renison College at the University of Waterloo and the prairie garden surrounding the offices of Ontario Die On Gage St in Kitchener, both accessible to the public, are enduring tributes to his botanical artistry.
