A Vancouver museum that provides the public with an opportunity to explore biodiversity has a program running for families will soon be introducing the world of marine invertebrates.
The Museum’s Nature Club, which is open to both members and non-members alike, will be kicking off February with a workshop that will offer a glimpse into the life cycle and ecology of an assortment of marine invertebrates. It will run for two and a half hours, and while all are welcome, UBC families may attend free of charge.
The activity will give the public a sneak peek into the venue's collection of thousands of specimens, and they represent the major lineages of animals that have no backbone. These include common species such as shrimp and lobsters to lesser known ones including jellyfish, sea cucumbers, marine sponges and horseshoe crabs. Corals and crustaceans will be in the discussion as well. Attendance in the event is included in the general museum admission price.
A nature based activity can make learning fun. A poster printing company will be able to make sure a community knows about classes, workshops and other events on offer for them.
The Beaty Biodiversity Museum will be introducing the world of marine invertebrates with this instalment of its Nature Club initiative on February 3rd. It will begin at 10:30 am, and wrap up at 1:00 pm.
