This multi-media event will be a fun and informative evening through the sharing of success stories and presentations by local conservation groups making a difference for species at risk in the Fraser Valley.
There will also be numerous local groups and agencies with displays who will be introduced during the event. Participants looking for advice on helping local wildlife and species at risk will have the opportunity meet with them. Those with ideas on how to make a difference will be encouraged to connect with the various groups that could provide support.
