Nest-work: Art and Science Gathering
Richmond Art Gallery
7700 Minoru Gate
3pm-5pm
Join us for an afternoon on nests! Artists and scientists, and Indigenous Peoples present on the fascinating topic of nest habitat and nest-making, here in the Fraser River Estuary, and beyond. We look at local kinds of nests and bird habitat, and see where migratory shorebirds who travel through the Fraser River Key Biodiversity Area—a key “stopover site” for migratory birds—go to nest. Join David Bradley, director of Birds Canada in BC, as he looks at local kinds of nests and bird habitat in the Key Biodiversity Area of the Estuary. And visiting from Alaska, River Gates, Pacific Shorebird Conservation Initiative Coordinator for Audubon, presents her fascinating research on Western Sandpiper nests in the arctic.
