Meet your Interpreters!

 

Katrina

Something bugging you? Find out what it is on an interpretive walk with Katrina! She has a background in entomology (the study of insects), so she can answer almost every question you may have about the small six-legged critters. As the full-time Science Interpreter, Katrina is also very knowledgeable about all living creatures…from flowers to waterfowl. She has become flexible enough, over her time at FortWhyte, to talk with you about anything found on site.

Barret

Passionate about most things Manitoban, Barret can give you insight into our area’s past, or share information on the natural world that surrounds us here at FortWhyte today. Hailing from the backwoods of Eastern Manitoba, Barret also carries a fair bit of edible wilds, tracking, and wilderness living information around inside his interpretive hat. Whether you want to know how pioneers preserved potatoes, or which tree bark is tasty, or even just what animal left those paw prints along the trail, Barret will help you find answers.
