The Biosphere Institute hosts a tool lending library for Bow Valley residents.
We offer a small selection of equipment related to our two programmatic areas: human-wildlife coexistence and climate change. This equipment is available free of charge and is available for pickup at our office in downtown Canmore. Due to COVID-19, our staff are currently working hybrid schedules. Please contact us directly to arrange to borrow any of this equipment.
