[MCN] Space available on Polar Bear Ecology Field Course 10/29-11/6

[Shannon Donahue]

The Great Bear Foundation just had space open up on our fall Polar Bear 
Ecology Field Course in Churchill, Manitoba on Hudson Bay, due to a 
group cancellation. This is a low-impact, conservation-focused 
experience observing polar bears and other arctic wildlife in their 
natural habitat at the peak of the Western Hudson Bay polar bear 
migration, as the bears arrive to Cape Churchill waiting for the first 
sea ice to form. The trip runs October 29 to November 6, including two 
nights on the train between Winnipeg and Churchill each way. We are in 
Churchill for five full days, from October 31 to November 4 before 
boarding the train the night of November 4. Meals and accommodations at 
a research facility just outside of Churchill in the Churchill Wildlife 
Management Area are provided.

conservation may be mustering the social and political will to implement 
change.”
