Speaker: Bob Henderson - Algonquin and Beyond
Storytelling meets historical passages as we seek to make the past echo in relevance and fun.
Bob Henderson has been active in outdoor education for over 45 years, starting with summer camp canoe trip guiding and continuing with university teaching and some travel guiding mixed in up to the present. He is author and editor of books pertaining to Canadian heritage travel and nordic approached to outdoor life. Of particular satisfaction has been his involvement in Pathways:The Ontario Journal of Outdoor Education where he has enjoyed the challenge of blending the interests of academics and practitioners. His most recent book is titled Paddling Pathways: Reflections for a Changing Landscape (2022), co-edited with Sean Blenkinsop.
Speaker: Patrick Moldowan - The Science Behind Algonquin Wildlife
Go behind-the-scenes of wildlife science conducted over the 80-year history of the Algonquin Wildlife Research Station and learn how biological field research has shaped our understanding of the ecology and conservation of the park that we know and love today.
Patrick Moldowan (Ph.D.), a field biologist by passion and training, takes a 'boots on the ground' approach to research and applied wildlife conservation. He is drawn to understanding, protecting, and educating others about the lesser appreciated wildlife that we share the Earth with, especially amphibians and reptiles. His research focuses on long-term ecological studies of salamanders and turtles based at the Algonquin Wildlife Research Station in Algonquin Park.
