Educational Program

Hundreds of children from Haida Gwaii have participated in Project Limestone. Each May school groups come to East Limestone Island for an overnight visit. They assist our biologists with the chick capture and weighing program and participate in an interpretive program.

"Project Limestone"

Education is another large part of LBCS programs both at the Limestone Field Camp and in town. The most exciting educational opportunities are the hands-on field research available on Limestone Island. Commercial tour boats and other interested boaters stop by for guided day time interpretative tours (with prior notice) . School groups and volunteers are the only visitors allowed to participate in the night time research work. Students stay overnight in our visitor’s cabin and volunteers and staff are housed in tents.

Away from the field camp LBCS' educational program publishes scientific results, makes presentations in local schools, runs a speakers series on many natural history topics, has displays in the Haida Gwaii Museum, shares information with other study groups and generally passes the word about the steadily developing body of knowledge coming out of Laskeek Bay.
