Youth Outreach Program in Algonquin Park

We are committed to experiential learning that provides youth with the opportunity to explore scientific research outside the traditional classroom. Our program is provided to selected local groups at no cost and includes both field and lab components, with guest presentations from prominent researchers and naturalists. We are grateful for the facilities at the University of Waterloo Summit Centre for the Environment and the key staff from Algonquin Provincial Park who help make this happen.

Killarney Provincial Park Citizen Science Survey
With support from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's Species At Risk Stewardship Fund, we are holding annual citizen science survey days in Killarney Park. Contact the Friends of Killarney Park to join us for a presentation about eastern wolves. Following the talk and some in-class training, we'll venture onto the trails to collect samples to support the development of a new method for genetic assignment of the species using noninvasive samples (scat, urine, hair).
