Comox Valley Nature will be hosting a free on-line lecture this weekend to discuss the biodiversity of the Morrison Creek Headwaters.

The group says the unique environmental features of the Morrison Creek headwaters have resulted in a biologically rich ecosystem, home to many endangered and threatened species including the one-of-a-kind Morrison Creek lamprey.

Volunteers with the Morrison Creek Streamkeepers and with the Comox Valley Land Trust are trying to preserve a forested area around the Morrison Creek headwaters.

The presenters will share their knowledge of the habitat and species of the headwaters and of the Comox Valley Land Trust project to protect them.

“Seating” is limited at the Sunday webinar so you do need to register ahead of time.

Comox Valley Nature, around since 1966, is a non-profit group - its purpose, according to the Society, can be summed up by its motto, “to know nature, and keep it worth knowing.

To register, go to Morrison Creek Streamkeepers.
