022613_toiling_for_turtlesThe Williams Lake Field Naturalists is hosting another a free public talk next month, this time the topic surrounds adventures with sea turtles in Uruguay.

For a variety of reasons, sea turtles are doing poorly in all of the world's oceans.

In 2012 Williams Lake resident Roy Argue, well-known for his years playing rugby and working at the local Department of Fisheries, volunteered for two months in Uruguay with Karumbe, an organization consisting of passionate locals, fishermen, researchers and foreign volunteers attempting to take some of the pressure off local populations. Roy, a knowledgeable and entertaining speaker, will share pictures and stories of his work in La Coronilla, Uruguay, 22 km south of the Brazilian border.

The presentation will take place on Wednesday, March 6 at 7:00pm at Scout Island Nature Centre.  For more information, you can call (250) 398-8532.
