Event Dates:
  • Thu • July 25, 2024 • 11:00 AM

The Western Burrowing Owl, Athene cunicularia hypugaea, is a species at risk in Canada and was extirpated from BC in the 1980s. For 30 years the Burrowing Owl Conservation Society of British Columbia has been working on reintroducing Burrowing Owls to the grasslands of BC through captive breeding and habitat enhancement. Lauren Meads, Executive Director will introduce us to her very special guest, Pluto while discussing the successes and obstacles of working with this remarkable grassland species.
