Pender Harbour Wildlife Society presents Vancouver Island Marmots: A Detective Story, with Andrew Bryant, Tuesday Sept. 20, 7 p.m. at Pender Harbour Secondary School. Bryant began working with marmots in 1987, co-founded the Recovery Team in 1988 and served as its scientific advisor for two decades. By 1998 he’d seen the world population fall to about 70 animals and the prognosis was grim.
An 11th hour captive-breeding program ultimately prevented extinction of this uniquely Canadian species and provided marmots for ongoing reintroduction efforts. Refreshments will be served. All are welcome; no membership required. Updates at [email protected]
Come join the Ruby Lake Lagoon Society at their AGM on Sunday, Sept. 25 at the Iris Griffith Centre starting at 2 p.m. Hear what’s happening with PODS and many other initiatives. Stay for the potluck and entertainment.
