SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT SPEAKER SERIES
The Science and Environment Lecture Series runs from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month from October to June using the Zoom Webinar format. The on-line format allows large numbers of CALL members to participate and access to a wide range of speakers. A Q& A feature in the Webinar platform provides an opportunity for participants to post questions for the speaker. These are addressed in a curated Q & A session at the end of each presentation. Feedback on each session as well as suggestions for improvement, future topics and so on can be left for the team organizing the lecture series using the Chat feature.

Squirrels of Alberta Did you know there are 14 squirrel species in Alberta? Join us as we learn more about this fascinating group of charismatic mammals. We'll talk about where you can find squirrels, the adaptations that they have to live in their environments, and where you can download your own Squirrel ID Guide for free so you can continue learning more about squirrels after this talk. We will also talk about squirrel conservation and how you can help us learn more about declining squirrel populations in the province through submitting your observations to iNaturalist. |
