SUMMARY:Why It's Tough Being a Toad on Vancouver Island
DESCRIPTION:On March 20th at 7 pm at the Beban Park Social Centre\, room #2\, NALT and Nature Nanaimo will cohost a FREE presentation by Elke Wind: Why It’s Tough Being a Toad on Vancouver Island \nThe nine native amphibian species on Vancouver Island live in a variety of habitats and vary in their life history and sensitivity to human disturbance. Ms. Wind will discuss the ecology of our local amphibian populations with an emphasis on the Western Toad\, a species at risk that she has been studying for almost 15 years.  \nElke Wind obtained her M.Sc. in Conservation Biology at UBC in 1996 and her status as a Registered Professional Biologist in 2003. She has been a self-employed contract biologist since 2002 specializing in the conservation of amphibian populations. She specializes in the habitat associations and requirements of amphibians in relation to impacts of timber harvesting\, rural and urban development\, linear infrastructure projects (e.g.\, roads\, trails\, pipeline right of ways)\, and non-native species. \nPlease consider joining us to learn more about the toads of Vancouver Island.

SUMMARY:Bat Conservation on Vancouver Island:  The importance of wetlands\, protected areas and forest cover.
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with Nature Nanaimo\, NALT is very happy to present Bat Conservation on Vancouver Island: the Importance of Wetlands\, Protected Areas and Forest Cover\, a talk by Scott Wilson\, a Research Scientists With Environment and Climate Change Canada. This free presentation is on Thursday\, February 20th at 7 pm at the Beban Park Social Centre\, Room 2. \nThis presentation will start with an overview of the importance of bats and the threats they face and then discuss the results of a three-year study of bat occurrence and ecology on east Vancouver Island conducted in collaboration with NALT. This study addressed several topics that will be discussed in the presentation including the relative abundance of species in the study region\, how bat activity differs among local habitats such as wetlands and meadows\, whether activity is higher in protected areas and how much forest cover they prefer in the surrounding landscape. \nScott Wilson is a Research Scientist with Environment and Climate Change Canada and Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia. His research focuses on the ecology and conservation of species at risk with an emphasis on bats and Neotropical migratory birds. His work on these topics includes studies in coastal British Columbia\, prairie Canada\, Colombia and Mexico.
