Meeting Presentations
Here are some presentations from our meetings that our presenters have graciously shared. We hope you enjoy them.
Meredith Watson, a UBC masters student, was our guest speaker at our fall meeting, October 28, 2023. She talked about the mysteries and magic of bogs in our environment. In urban centres, structures were built right on top of bogs so cannot be remediated. Her presentation wove a story on what was going on in the bogs under residential houses in Mount Pleasant area of Vancouver.
