BC Wildlife Federation presents Map our Marshes, a public workshop. Wetlands filter water, control floods and provide habitat to hundreds of wildlife species. Unfortunately, wetlands are disappearing at an alarming rate and need our protection. Come join the BC Wildlife Federation for a free workshop to learn about different types of wetlands and how to map and protect them using GPS receivers, Google Earth, and BC?s Community Mapping Network. Our host wetland, Somenos Marsh, faces a number of invasive species threats so we are also fortunate to have a special guest speaker; Ernie Sellestin of the Coastal Invasive Species Committee, who will talk about wetland invasive species. Registration is required.
