The AVC Wildlife Service and Wildlife Club are celebrating National Wildlife Week with a public lecture in Lecture Theatre A, Atlantic Veterinary College, UPEI, on Wednesday, April 4, 2018, at 7 p.m. National Wildlife Week, which takes place from April 8–14 this year, is a program of the Canadian Wildlife Federation that celebrates Canada’s natural heritage and the importance of its conservation. Fiep de Bie, technician with the AVC Wildlife Service, will give a lecture called “Island wild birds: Monitoring their health and well-being.” She will reflect on the outbreak of trichomonosis in finches in the summer of 2017 and address the question of whether wild birds should be fed. Other issues related to wild birds on Prince Edward Island will also be discussed. There will be a fundraiser for the AVC Wildlife Service, including a silent auction of art, a raffle, and the sale of cupcakes. Proceeds will go towards the care of wildlife submitted to the service. Everyone is welcome. Admission is free.
