Events

We start our fall program with Jeff Bender, executive director of the Canadian Institute for Bat Research, discussing all things batty.  Let's learn myth from fact.

Jody Allair, biologist and science educator from Bird Studies Canada, will present on forest birds at risk and explain who these remarkable birds are, what threats they face, and what we might do to help.

Milkweeds and goldenrods have very important ecological roles in our natural environment.  Both play huge rolls in supporting our pollinators.  Larry Cornelis will explain all this and hopes to convince you that goldenrods are the perfect flowering plant.

All SFN members are welcome to share their nature-related pictures, items, and stories in brief presentations.  Contact Tom Chatterton 519-627-2986
