March 17, 7:30 pm: Pre-contact plant communities
of southern Alberta: Dr. Brian
Kooyman of the U of C Department of Archaeology.
April 21, 7:30 pm: The Crown is Slipping. Will
it Fall? A clear-eyed look at what's in store for the Waterton-Glacier
area. Long-time Rockies naturalist, conservationist and author Ben
Gadd will have you alternately chuckling
and wringing your hands during this illustrated talk. Ben's insightful
and gently provocative thoughts will come as a breath of fresh air.
Prepare to hear some things you haven't heard before.
The talk is part geography lesson, part eco-historical
analysis and part polemic. Much of it centres on the Rockies and
foothills from Banff south, not so far from Calgary. It includes
images and graphics, and the last section, which is about how we
can save the national parks, has been described as "brilliant."
May 5, 7:30 pm: Montana Birding: John
Carlson.
