Burgess Shale: Dawn of Animal Life Feb 19th 2025

If you’re planning to hike the Burgess Shale this year, don’t miss this joint VIC/VAN PS presentation.  Hear about the extraordinary life represented in BC’s Burgess Shale from David Moore, a professional geologist, seasoned communicator and Burgess Shale hiking guide. Join David for deep knowledge, breathtaking photos and practical advice for how to prepare for this physically challenging and intellectually inspiring adventure.

The Burgess Shale Foundation is a not-for-profit society with an education mandate similar to our own and it’s exciting to welcome David to present to our BC paleontology societies.

This event is ZOOM only, and open to anyone, so invite your friends. Note the early start (6:00 PM Pacific Time).  A big shout out to David Moore for being generous with his time, John Fam for the great social media exposure for this presentation, and to Dan Bowden for his stellar poster skills!
