  • Afternoon sessions will focus on coastal bird identification, life history and the conservation challenges they face. We’ll also offer hands-on training on how to conduct shoreline surveys for coastal birds, which will help us all to be better prepared in case of emergencies, such as oil spills.  
  • The evening sessions on wind power have been CANCELLED. We are now hosting Wildlife Trivia with NCCs Wildlife Biologist, Sara Pearce-Meijerink! This is a family-friendly event for communities to have some fun and test their knowledge of topics such as “Birds of Southern Labrador.

We hope to see you there!
