Wilderness,
Wildlife, and You!
The
Friends of Kananaskis Country is sponsoring
the development of a new visitor centre
display in Peter Lougheed Provincial
Park. The new display will have four
main components and use interactive
video techniques that will allow visitors
to choose stories and information they
are interested in. The first section
of the display will present the grizzly
bear as a species that can be used to
indicate the health of the wilderness
environment. The second section will
allow visitors to interact with science
researchers working with a variety of
mountain wildlife from earthworms to
bears. The third section will focus
on how each of us can influence the
wilderness. The final phase of the display
will be an Internet production that
can be accessed from any home computer.
This Internet program will be designed
so that schools, youth groups, and interested
individuals can learn about the concepts
presented in the display dealing with
wildlife, wilderness, and how people
interact with these things.
Numerous
organizations have helped the Friends
with
funding for the display including:
has contributed $28,500
provided $55,000
