About Wise Practices for Living with Wildlife:
Attendees will learn:

  • “Purposes are deduced from behaviour, not from rhetoric or stated goals.” 

  • Human-wildlife coexistence can be a path to abundance.  

  • CATS is essential, but only a small piece of the puzzle.  

There will be time for a Q&A after the presentation.

About the Presenter:

Josh joined Y2Y in 2021 after working 20 years developing a body of work that seeks balance between land-based conservation and development in Canada and the United States. His approach has always been dedicated to the pursuit of building social and ecological resilience. With his background as a planner in mountain towns, a landscape architect, and a national park ranger, Josh’s current work is about sustaining how we might live, work, and play within the Y2Y corridor, the most intact mountain ecosystem on the planet. 

 

What is Earth Talks?
Earth Talks is a collaborative partnership with the Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley, to bring you monthly environmental speakers and conversations relevant to our community.

On one Monday evening each month, we will be joined by Biosphere staff in the Friends Program Room at 7:00pm for an Earth Talk. Earth Talks will typically be held on the third Monday of the month, with a few exceptions.

Admission is free, with donations graciously accepted.
