Here is an event in our back yard of which we’ve just become aware.
It is one-day course designed to educate and train participants about the conservation, ecology, and life history of dragonflies.
It is being put on by Migratory Dragonfly Partnership.
According to the Partnership’s website, “Dragonfly migration is one of the most fascinating events in the insect world, but also one of the least-known.”
The Migratory Dragonfly Partnership is composed of dragonfly experts, nongovernmental programs, academic institutions, and federal agencies from the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Together, they are combining research, citizen science, and education and outreach to better understand North America's migrating dragonflies and promote conservation of their wetland habitat.
Participants will be trained to become citizen science contributors for the Migratory
Dragonfly Partnership's North America-wide citizen science research projects.
The course, which is free, will run Saturday September 28th from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM EDT at the Long Point Bird Observatory/Bird Studies Canada. They’re located just west of beautiful Port Rowan Harbour at 115 Front Rd in Port Rowan.
