Animal tracking and wildlife awareness help people understand how animals live and how to safely share natural spaces with them. By studying tracks, scat, bones, skulls, and other signs, we can learn which animals are present and how they behave. Being “wildlife aware” means paying attention to these clues, respecting animal habitats, and knowing how to avoid conflicts. Altogether, these skills support conservation, safety, and a deeper appreciation for the wildlife around us.
When: March 16, 2026 from 7-8:30pm

We begin with what matters most: your child’s learning and development. We’ll consider how AI tools may influence attention, creativity, and study habits, and what responsible use can look like as children grow into teens and prepare for university. Then we’ll demystify the current AI landscape—what today’s tools can and can’t do and where they’re heading—including text-based systems (like chatbots), image creation, and video creation/editing.
When: 20 March, 10:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
