Wolf Howl & BBQ
Mike Runtz Shouts Out at Basin Depot
Saturday, August 29
Join us at NOON for a beach-side BBQ. The Friends will be raising funds to help bring more programs like this to Bonnechere Park.
In the evening, join author and naturalist Mike Runtz at the Davenport Centre for an excellent multimedia presentation about wolves, their habits and habitat.
Then head out to the long-abandoned logging settlement at Basin Depot, in neighbouring Algonquin Park.Once there Mike will invite you all to send a call out to the night. If you are VERY lucky, the wolves will return your call with a chorus of yelps and howls. An unforgettable and bone-chilling experience!Dress for the weather; plan to carpool. To top kick off the evening, the Friends will be presenting the 2015 Directors Award to Mike for his many years of dedicated research and interpretation along the Little Bonnechere River. Mike's friends are invited to join us for this special presentation!CONGRATULATIONS MIKE!
