Ronald Douglas Lawrence Place

Field biologist, naturalist, and storyteller R.D. (Ronald Douglas) Lawrence captivated readers internationally with 30 published books about Canadian wildlife and the environment.

Following Ron Lawrence's death in 2003, his wife, Sharon, donated his literary collection to the Minden Hills Cultural Centre. In 2007, the R.D. Lawrence Place opened as a museum and literary centre with a mandate to foster a love of reading, promote the art of writing, and deepen respect for our natural heritage.

An annual writer-in-residence program is now under way. Find out more at Minden Hills Cultural Centre.
