Wascana Centre's 50th Anniversary Bird & Mammal Challenge

During Wascana Centre's 50th Anniversary (April 1st, 2012 to March 31st, 2013) a running list of all the birds and mammals observed within the Centre will be recorded. Observers can submit their observations to Wascana's Naturalists by email.
