ACTWS/CSTWS19 Awards: Wildlife Outreach

Dedicating one’s career to reaching out to the public and raising awareness on ecology and wildlife populations is a key role for wildlife management professionals. Many of us do this, and a few of us excel at it. Each year the ACTWS recognizes excellence in this endeavour with a Wildlife Outreach award.

Chris Fisher needs no introduction. Active on television, social media and speaking events, large and small, Chris has translated an education in wildlife biology and a passion for wildlife into a career of exemplary nature outreach. His books are best-sellers and his nature posts go viral. It was an honour for the ACTWS to present this year’s Wildlife Outreach award to Chris.

Rooted in Wisdom: Deer Aging Techniques

Embark on a journey of precision and insight with the Lethbridge College Wildlife Analytics Lab (WAL) at the ACTWS Conference in Jasper! Join our workshop, ‘Rooted in Wisdom: Deer Aging Techniques‘, to explore the secrets hidden within wildlife teeth. Explore both the field technique of ‘tooth eruption and wear’ and the laboratory marvel of ‘cementum analysis’ – both dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of ungulate ages. Delve into the heart of these techniques, comparing their accuracy and precision, with a revelation of the superior accuracy of cementum analysis. Learn the art of tooth extraction and witness the seamless process of submitting your own wildlife teeth to the WAL for aging through cementum analysis. Elevate your understanding of deer populations and contribute to the advancement of wildlife knowledge and bolster your resume with applied experience. Participants will gain hands-on familiarity with the field technique of jaw aging, and the lab process of tooth extraction, inspection, preparation, and cementum analysis. Join us in Jasper for a transformative experience at the intersection of field expertise and cutting-edge laboratory analysis!
