Species-at-Risk

Take a tour through our Video Library…

We sometimes partner with filmmakers to capture conservation stories, or even make our own short films in-house. We’ve recently released two new films with footage from the bat work in the community!

Join us for exciting events!

Our events page is updated regularly with upcoming community events like turtle releases, snake walks, bat nights, and more!

The SFN Species-at-Risk team is committed to protecting and conserving species-at-risk and their habitats through an approach that combines Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and Western science.
