We can learn so much about how animals move across the land by the stories they leave in the snow. Join the Wildlife Viewing Program and expert tracker Ryan Sealy for a sunset walk in the woods, as we look for tracks and follow the movements of animals on the land.
Wear tall boots and snowpants so we can wade through deep snow to follow some trails.
Location: TBD
Ever see pellets or strange craters in the snow when you’re out on the trails? Who was digging there and what was it looking for? Join the Wildlife Viewing Program and biologist Shannon Stotyn for a short and easy cross-country ski along the Mt. Lorne trails, looking for signs of Woodland Caribou. We’ll learn about the Southern Lake caribou herds and the research that has been going on to understand them. If we’re lucky we may even glimpse some along the trail.
You must be able to cross-country ski at least 5 km and ascend or descend small hills. The trails are rugged and we will be stopping frequently to investigate signs of caribou. Dress warmly, and not for an intense workout.
We can learn a lot about how an animal lived by studying them after death. Veterinarians from Animal Health and Protection invite you to witness a necropsy, offering a small insight to an animal’s life and death.
This event is not for the faint of heart. There are strong smells and some blood as we look at the internal organs of an animal. Safety equipment including lab coats are provided and all participants will be given a short tour of the lab and safety briefing.
Space is limited so you must register for this event. Registration opens 2 weeks before the event.
