Are you curious about Manitoba's prairies and the enigmatic creatures that inhabitant them? Please join Melanie Dubois and the Westman Naturalists for a presentation that will shed light on an iconic but sometimes elusive grassland species - the American Badger. With their distinctive appearance and fascinating behaviour, badgers have long intrigued wildlife enthusiast. Explore the hidden world of badgers, learn about their vital role in our prairie ecosystems and explain how you can become a citizen scientist to contribute to our understanding of badgers and their conservation.
Melanie Dubois is a federal wildlife researcher who has been looking at the interactions between wildlife and agricultural systems for over 25 years and is a long serving member of the executive board of the Manitoba Chapter of the Wildlife Society.
