Comox Valley Naturalists Society (CVNS) will host the BC Nature Conference at the Filberg Centre, May 12-15, with more than 200 conservationists, environmentalists and affiliated members attending.
Although the conference is mainly for members and affiliates of BC Nature, CVNS is opening up a three-hour window of lectures to the public. Non-members, for a $10 charge, can attend a group of six conservation lectures, held in three sessions in different parts of the Filberg. Each pair of lectures is approximately 45 minutes long, and will include a 10-minute coffee break between the first and second sets.
Presenting the lectures will be Neil Dawe, a recipient of the Ian McTaggart-Cowan Award of Excellence; Jack Minard of the Tsolum River Restoration Society and the Comox Valley Land Trust; Jannice Friedman (Governor General’s Gold Medal of Canada recipient); Jennifer Sutherst, (estuary co-ordinator and staff biologist for Project Watershed) and Dan Buffet of Ducks Unlimited Canada.
