The herd is coming!

Apr 16, 2010

Over 20,000 people have signed the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society Caribou Pledge. That is AWESOME! So now we want to gather the herds and tell the world by holding a spontaneous crowd for caribou celebration in the streets of Ottawa, Montreal, and Vancouver. On April 21, 2010, grab your antlers, grab your friends, and join a herd for this quick and crazy caribou event!

Volunteers needed in Ottawa to help a caribou

Feb 01, 2010

Do you want to help protect Canada's wild? Gain some volunteer experience? Channel your inner caribou?

CPAWS is looking for outgoing individuals to get out in the Ottawa community with me and help collect signatures to protect my species - Canada's woodland caribou.

As a member of the Bou Crew, you'll talk to people about protecting Canada's woodland caribou and their boreal forest habitat, help kids build their own antlers, and take photos of it all. CPAWS provides the training and tools. All you have to provide is the enthusiasm.

You are the ideal candidate if you're comfortable with:

talking with lots of people
working with kids
using a digital camera

...and interested in conserving Canada's wilderness!

Want to be part of the fun? Please contact Jill Sturdy to sign up.
