November 2 is World Bison Day! Join us on November 7 as we “Spill the Beans” on Bison with the Friends of Elk Island Society.
This month’s speaker is David Bruinsma, a member of the Resource Conservation team at Elk Island National Park, where he coordinates the bison management program. He’ll talk about how bison are returning to communities across North America from which they were once lost, thanks to the efforts of those at Elk Island.
Hosted in the Wild Neighbours Cafe* admission to the zoo is not required for this event. Bird-Friendly Coffee and snacks are available to purchase - with a portion of drink and snack proceeds going towards wildlife education and conservation initiatives at the Edmonton Valley Zoo.
