We are pleased to announce that author and naturalist Richard (Dick) Cannings will be the guest speaker at SPES’s Annual General Meeting, which takes place on October 24.
In his keynote presentation Birds: Richness and Rarity in the City, Dick will share his insights about the birds of Vancouver—their diversity, populations and decline.
Dick has produced natural history programs for CBC, teaches field ecology courses at UBC, and is also a consulting biologist on species at risk in the Okanagan Valley. He has written a number of books, winning several awards, including the Canadian Science Writers’ Book Award. A signed copy of his most recent book, Birdfinding in British Columbia, will be given away to one lucky winner during the AGM.
