Join the Biodiversity Inventory at Western for a guided biodiversity hike through the Medway Valley Heritage Forest

Please join the Biodiversity Inventory at Western (BIW) for a guided biodiversity hike through the Medway Valley Heritage Forest Environmentally Significant Area on the west end of Western University’s campus. We will be focusing on all aspects of biodiversity and will demonstrate how to use the iNaturalist community science app to identify species from photos and contribute to the City Nature Challenge. The hike will be around 90 minutes.

This event will be led by Jackson Kusack, PhD Candidate at Western University.

We will meet behind the Support Services Building (SSB), 1393 Western Road, at 9:00 am and travel together to the area for the event. Parking is available on-site.

Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear. This hike will be on uneven terrain and is not wheelchair accessible.

Please contact Jackson at jkusack@uwo.ca if you have any questions.
