SUMMARY:Ontario’s freshwater mussels: a vanishing treasure
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Todd Morris\nDuring his talk Dr. Morris will provide an overview of this fascinating yet often overlooked group. Through the use of underwater video footage we will dive into the world of one of North America’s most endangered groups and learn about what makes them work\, what role they play in aquatic ecosystems and why they are rapidly disappearing across the continent. Special emphasis will be placed on the complex reproductive strategies which have evolved in this group to facilitate their requisite parasitic life history.

SUMMARY:Reptiles at Risk on the Road Project
DESCRIPTION:This project is a partnership between Scales Nature Park\, Laurentian University\, and the Canadian Herpetological Society. The project is funded through the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Species at Risk Stewardship Fund to provide educational programming.\nThe program runs in two parts\, beginning with a 30-45 minute presentation about various native species.

Many of the species used in this program are species at risk in Ontario. Education is one way to ensure these animals will be present for future generations. \nGrey Sauble Conservation Centre\n237897 Inglis Falls Road Owen Sound\nFree admission Free parking \nPLEASE NOTE – AN RSVP IS REQUIRED. \nRSVP to Kate McLaren\ne-mail: mudtown@bmts.com\ntext or phone 519 538 1897
