Volunteer: Wildlife Tracking & Twig and Bud Orientations with Katie, Owen & Grant @ Beaver Creek Conservation Area
(10:00 AM – 12:00 PM)
Learn to help identify and track the health of our valley in the winter months – Winter tracking can do a lot of good, for both the well-being of the valley, and the knowledge within our community! We’ll begin with getting some info from Meewasin’s team members inside the theatre in the interpretive center before heading out on the trail to sample some data alongside Meewasin team members. We will head back to the theatre after our hike to add notes to our data. Join us for both an orientation and your hand in tracking data for either our wildlife or twig and bud surveys.
