Stewards of Splendor Reception and Panel Discussion

Join author Jennifer Bonnell and contributors to Stewards of Splendour: A History of Wildlife and People in British Columbia at a reception hosted in the Natural History gallery followed by a panel discussion in Newcombe Conference Hall.

The book explores the history of wildlife conservation in BC, from pre-contact Indigenous stewardship to the present. It documents the effects of rising scientific understanding and public appreciation for the province’s fish and wildlife and the gradual reclamation of land and management authority by First Nations.

Copies of the book will be available for sale from 6:15 to 7:00 pm at the Royal Museum Shop. You can also purchase the book online in advance. The author will be available to sign copies at the end of the panel discussion.
