EALT has been invited to attend the Country Living Expo in Morinville on April 1st! This event will feature drop-in information sessions, a conversation area, local vendors and a concession area, all centered around a love for rural living. We will be setting up an information booth to engage with attendees about who we are, what we do, and our work in conservation.
One of our conservation lands, Boisvert’s Greenwoods, is located close to Morinville, so we will also talk about the property to those who may not know about it.
Only one of our staff is available to attend, so we’re looking for volunteers to come with us! This opportunity will involve speaking to the public, representing EALT in a professional manner, and learning more about who we are and what we do. If you don’t feel you know enough about us to be able to participate, don’t worry, we will brief you on everything that you need to know. We will also have a paper resource to refer to in case you get stuck - but a staff member will be present the whole time to help you out as well.

The event begins at 10:00 am at the Morinville Cultural Community Centre. You must have your own transportation to get to Morinville. Volunteers should plan to meet us at the venue. The event will last until 3:30 pm.
