An illustrated talk by Zoe Lucas on the natural history of Sable Island, and the roles and future of the Sable Island Station. When: Monday, February 7th, 7:00-9:30 pm. Where: Canadian Museum of Nature 240 McLeod St., Ottawa, Ontario (613-566-4700) Admission: free Since the mid-1990s, when Environment Canada, during its Program Review, considered closing the Station on Sable Island, the future of the Station and thus of the Island itself, has been in question. This illustrated talk will review Sable Island's natural values (terrain, flora and fauna), and the Island's role as a platform for a wide range of research and monitoring programs. The presentation, followed by a question-&-answer session, will highlight the essential function of the Sable Island Station in providing infrastructure and expertise for all activities on the Island, including stewardship and research. Bill Freedman (Chair, Biology Department, Dalhousie University) and Keith Betteridge (University Professor Emeritus, University of Guelph) will participate in the Q-&-A discussion. For additional information about Sable Island see http://www.GreenHorseSociety.com This event is sponsored by the Sable Island Green Horse Society, the Ecology Action Centre, Nature Canada, the Ottawa Field Naturalists, and the Canadian Museum of Nature.
