BC Wildlife Federation presents Map our Marshes, a free public workshop. Wetlands filter water, control floods and provide habitat to hundreds of wildlife species. Unfortunately, wetlands are disappearing at an alarming rate and need our protection.
Come join the BC Wildlife Federation for a free workshop to learn about different types of wetlands and how to map and protect them using GPS receivers, Google Earth, and BC’s Community Mapping Network. In addition, we will be doing some exploritory wetland design on the UBC Farms.
Sign up today as spaces are limited.
