WildSafeBC Booth, Mission Farmer's Market

Access

About

Nature and wildlife are often prominent themes in much of BC’s art and culture! As part of WildSafeBC's "BC Goes Wild" weekend events, the FVRD WildSafeBC Community Coordinator will attend the Mission Culture Day's Farmer's Market with the WildSafeBC booth to help highlight the important connection between both nature and wildlife and our local arts and culture. Visit our booth to learn about local wildlife species and biology, and how you can prevent human-wildlife conflict. There are plenty of interactive props to see at the booth (like animal skulls, scat, and tracks), a Jeopardy!-style trivia game to play, and lots of free informative take-home items to help you better understand how to keep wildlife wild and communities safe. By learning about what local wildlife needs to survive and how we can reduce conflict, we can better protect our local wildlife and their habitats so they can provide inspiration for arts and culture in BC for many generations to come!
