The event alternates between Glacier and Waterton Lakes national parks. This year it will be held at the Falls Theatre in Waterton. The event is free of charge.
Science and History Day is a great way for the public to hear the latest results from scientists and historians carrying out projects in and around the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. Topics are presented in a non-technical manner, and are grouped into themes such as aquatic resources, history, social research and wildlife. Some of the topics for this year include: harlequin ducks, hair snares for grizzly bears, native plant gardens, alpine stream insects, learning from the Sofa Mountain fire, wolverines, and ice patch archaeology.
Waterton Lakes National Park Superintendent Ian Thomas commented, “Science and History Day offers an outstanding opportunity for the public to learn about some of the research initiatives in the Peace Park. We welcome everyone to Waterton for this special event.”
Glacier National Park Superintendent Chas Cartwright noted, “The peace and friendship of the Peace Park is captured in the many cooperative projects carried out in our scientific community. All our speakers do an excellent job of presenting their topics in a non-technical manner.”
