Event Details

In the fall of 2020 Cortes Islanders reported that bears were damaging property and stealing chickens. Laurel Bohart, our Natural History Curator, saw these events as the perfect catalyst for creating a new Wild Cortes exhibit in the Linnaea Education Centre. The exhibit features Cortes Island’s top three predators – bears, cougars, and wolves – along with information on how humans can co-exist with these majestic animals while keeping them wild.

The Big Three exhibit will launch on Earth Day, April 22. Join us then, or later during regular opening hours, to learn about historical and recent accounts of local human/animal encounters, watch an award-winning mini-documentary, view images taken on local trail-cams, and discover what Wild Cortes and its partners have waiting for you to experience.

Event Details

Zoom with us on April 25th at 1:30 p.m. for our AGM and a special presentation by Gordon Cyr. Gordon and his family have been raising mason bees in Oyster River on Vancouver Island for over 20 years, offering rental kits to help gardeners greatly increase their crop yields. These kits are available for Cortes gardeners. Gordon has won the Best Environmental and Sustainable Business Award and is a recognized advocate for these important pollinators.

Mason bees are the solution to the problem of poor pollination affecting fruit trees and other food crops that blossom in the spring as each female visits up to 2,000 blossoms a day. Mason bees are also solitary and non-aggressive. Gordon will share his knowledge about these tiny powerhouse pollinators and how you can raise them in your own garden or orchard.

Zoom coordinates will be provided closer to the event.
