Festival of Feralia potluck |

It's February, and time for the annual Festival of Feralia,
celebrating (in Roman tradition) the departed, the creatures of
the night, and (in Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild tradition) a lovely
genus of noctuid moth. This year, we will not be having a symposium/workshop,
but the pot-luck dinner tradition continues at the Acorn residence.
Please come by after 5 pm for food, drink, and an optimistic look
ahead to the lep season of '010. Contact John Acorn for directions. |

Kananaskis Bioblitz |
| |
The folks at the University of Calgary are planning a 24 hour
bioblitz at the Barrier Lake ("Kananaskis") Field Station,
beginning at 2:30PM on July 17. Below is some information from Rob
Longair [longair[at] ucalgary.ca]; you can contact him if you are
interested or require more details.
"We plan to run the BioBlitz at the Barrier Lake field station
from 2:00 (roughly) on Saturday, 17 July to the same time on Sunday,
18 July. We are going to collect from an area around the station
that will include Barrier Lake, a couple of one year old clearcuts
near the station, some beaver ponds at some distance, as well as
the portion of Lusk Creek nearby and, of course, the forest (mostly
planted at some time in the past) around the station. We'll firm
up the exact area a little better later. If anyone is interested,
there is additional information online at http://bgs.ucalgary.ca/facilities
(The renamed Kananaskis Field Station is now part of the Biogeoscience
Institute). The Open House runs on Sunday from 10-4, so we are hoping
to do some very preliminary summary before the public leaves on
Sunday. I have been told we can provide one night of accomodation
(though it may be a little crowded) and a couple of meals and there
is camping nearby, of course. We will be set up with microscopes
and lights, etc. in one of the small labs in the station buildings.
The public will be able to come in and visit on Sunday in conjunction
with other presentations about research at the station in other
rooms."
