TRUSU Wildlife Club 
Join us for an evening of grassland and wildlife habitat conversation on November 27th from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm in International Building 1015 as we explore why grasslands matter and how we can protect them to protect the wildlife. This mini-conference titled “Exploring BC’s grassland where wildlife, science, and community meet” is organized by TRU Wildlife club that will bring together leading experts from Grasslands Conservation Council of British Columbia and Kamloops Naturalist Club to share their knowledge about grassland ecology, wildlife, education initiatives, and restoration work.
You’ll hear from:
- Dr. Wendy Gardner on global and North American grasslands with a BC focus
- Mike Dedels on accessible grassland areas and land use impacts
- Kristi Gordon on GCC’s new educational curriculum and student projects
- Dr. Nancy Flood on grassland wildlife and bird species in the Kamloops area
- Jesse Ritcey on invasive species management and restoration efforts
Student volunteer opportunities will be shared at the end of the evening by our Education & Outreach Assistant and the co-organizer of this event Rabeya Shikdar Orpa, in collaboration with TRU Wildlife Club.
