BE WILD: An Experience Auction

2020-07-27 @ 09:00 2020-08-05 @ 09:00 UTC

The ACTWS has always been so grateful to have an array of experienced, creative, and supportive members. The support of our members has been integral to the success of our annual conference silent auction. This year, we’re taking the auction online! We are excited to expand our auction into this new realm and open our fabulous prizes to all Albertans with an interest in wildlife!

What is an Experience Auction?

Each year, some ACTWS members donate a guided experience as a prize for our silent auction. These experiences give people an opportunity to engage in an outdoor activity, learn something new from experts, and meet other ACTWS members. Examples of past experiences have included a weekend of hunting or fishing, a weekend on a trapline, and a day of wildlife photography.

Selling experiences is a great way for the ACTWS to do what we do best – go outside and share our expertise with each other and our broader community. This is a great opportunity to get outside, make new friends, and learn new outdoor skills, all while supporting your ACTWS!

What are the prizes?
