What is a species?
A species is a group of individuals with shared characteristics. We usually think of animals when we hear the word “species,” but a species can be any group of living things—fish, mammals, plants, fungi, reptiles, insects, birds, and more!
What is a species at risk?
A species at risk is a species that has been formally labeled under federal or provincial legislation as being threatened, endangered, or at risk of disappearing or declining in numbers. At these engagement sessions, we will be discussing species that are labeled as species at risk, as well as any other plants or animals that are of concern to Citizens.
For those who are travelling to attend, we are happy to provide a travel stipend of $50 if you are travelling 50-99 km or $100 if your journey is over 100 km.
