Check out the Species at Risk” travelling exhibition at the Oliver Museum on Monday, August 3 from 10 am to 4 pm.
The Species at Risk exhibition open day at the Oliver Museum is getting even more exciting. That’s because on August 3, from 10 am – 4 pm, the Oliver & District Heritage Society is teaming up with various environmental and wildlife organizations to present a free information fair with fun activities, interesting displays, and fascinating experts. There will even be a visit from a real Burrowing Owl.
Whether you want to see owl pellets and eggs, learn about bird migration, identify an invasive weed, preserve animal habitat, or help bats in your backyard, the exhibition and info fair is the perfect event for you. Knowledgeable interpreters from the Royal B.C. Museum will be answering questions at the Species at Risk exhibition outside the Oliver Museum, while inside organizations will be showing visitors how to get involved. Then guests can sit and enjoy a nature-themed film in air-conditioned comfort.
The Oliver-Osoyoos Naturalist Club, the Burrowing Owl Conservation Society of BC, the Okanagan Similkameen Stewardship Society, and the B.C. Community Bat Program will be set up in the Museum with displays and information about what their organizations do.
Information and pamphlets from the Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society and the South Okanagan Rehabilitation Centre for Owls will also be available. At 1:30 pm, the Museum will be visited by the Burrowing Owl Conservation Society’s new education owl.
