Join author Jennifer Bonnell and panelists Dr. India Young, Rod Silver and Briony Penn for a lively discussion about Stewards of Splendour: A History of Wildlife and People in British Columbia.
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.
