Marg Gaviller – The Horses of Sable Island. Plus the journey “back to Newfoundland”
May 13, 2021 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
The Sable Island horses, originally domestic animals, are now the main occupants of the island. They roam freely in the natural environment, comfortably in the temperate summers but battered by high winds and ferocious storms in the winter, and without human interference. These feral horses are, indeed, a joy to behold.
This is a ZOOM webinar. Details of how to join will be sent out in an eHerald closer to the event. The webinar will be open at 6:45pm to sort any technical difficulties.
Didn’t receive an e-herald but would still like to participate? Please contact web@owensoundfieldnaturalists.ca with “Sable Island Webinar” as the subject title.
Thanks for your patience as we change with the times!
