Grassland Migrations With John Wilmshurst

Description

Grassland Migrations With John Wilmshurst

John is the Native Grassland Conservation Manager for the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF). With 35 years’ experience in grassland science and conservation, he’s worked in Canada, Africa, and Europe. John has also studied and collaborated at universities across Canada and worked with Parks Canada as both a grassland ecologist and manager. His current research and conservation focus is on the rangeland ecosystem in southwestern Saskatchewan, partnering with agricultural producers and ecologists to measure interactions among plants, insects, and grassland birds.

Join John to learn about the importance of migrations in grassland ecosystems and some of the world’s largest bird and mammal migrations, including Canada’s lesser-known pronghorn!
