Attend CWF's Biodiversity Education National Field Workshop for
Educators
Monday, May 10th to Friday, May 14th, 2010
at the
Cypress Hills Resort Inn, Saskatchewan*
From the knowledge of the First Nations Elders to the grandeur of the
scenery in the Cypress Hills, this workshop will delight the senses and
challenge the mind.
Participants will experience biodiversity in Saskatchewan's south-west,
at the landscape, species and in some examples, the genetic level,
through extensive field study opportunities.
Here are some highlights of this field trip excursion:
* A visit to the extensive native plant gardens at the First Nations
University of Canada where you'll be welcomed by an Elder
* Field trips and presentations on climate change, water regimes,
watershed and riparian areas, traditional Indigenous knowledge,
agricultural diversity, biodiversity and native plants.
* An interpreted trip to the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park of
the mixed-grass and short-grass prairie landscape.
* Visits to many points of interest during our field learning
studies, including the Lookout Point and Bald Butte, rising almost
700 metres over the surrounding prairie landscape.
* Amazing wildlife observation opportunities, such as white tail and
mule deer, coyotes, wild turkeys, hawks, eagles, moose, elk, and
pronghorn antelope.
* Endangered species, such as the Piping Plover and Burrowing owls.
* Mini-workshops, including an introduction to Fish Ways,
Adopt-a-River, Flying WILD and Project WET.
