Biosecurity on Haida Gwaii? Come learn more!

Laskeek Bay Conservation Society is excited to be taking part in an upcoming event hosted by Bird Studies Canada on Oct. 14th - Haida Gwaii Bird Day!

Invasive species threaten many creatures that make Haida Gwaii a renowned, important, biologically diverse area, and are one of the main causes of bird extinctions worldwide. Come join us for an interactive day revolving around seabirds and what is happening on Haida Gwaii to protect them. 

We'll be leading kids activities all day, so bring your whole family!

Our lead biologist Vivian Pattison will also be speaking during the afternoon, and will be there with leaders from the CHN, Bird Studies Canada, Haida Gwaii Museum, and Gwaii Haanas/Parks Canada. Discussions surrounding biosecurity can help us tackle the issues that threaten seabirds and their breeding colonies, where 1.5 million individuals breed here on Haida Gwaii. 

Open to everyone (and it's free)!
