COMING UP WEDNESDAY JULY 1st - Canada Day 2020

 

Celebrate Canada's biodiversity and join the collective effort across the country to observe and submit as many species of wild animals, plants and fungi as possible on Wednesday July 01.


All observations must be accompanied by a photo or sound as well as location coordinates for submission. Most cell phones will georeference your photos. If you cannot identify your species observed (but please try), submit anyway and the iNaturalist community will identify the species for you.


So get out this Canada Day to your backyard, favourite hiking trail, lakeshore or wetland with your cell phone or camera and record your nature observations for this year's challenge.

Please watch this site for updates.

 

Point Pelee Birding in Early MayCANCELLED Four days of camping (or B&B) at the height of the songbird migration, in one of North America’s premier birding locations. Because camping is limited on the Point, this must be planned many months in advance. Dates cannot be finalized until early February. Limit of 20 campers. If you are interested please call the leaders by the end of January. All welcome. No experience necessary.

Important Notice to Outing Leaders 

Non-members need to sign a waiver form in order to participate in our outings, so it is the responsibility of each outing leader to take a copy of the Non_Member Field Trip Waiver_2020.pdf  on each outing, obtain the signatures of any nonmembers, and turn in the form to the Field Trips Coordinator. It is also the responsibility of the outing leader to determine that all participants understand the terms of the waiver and that they are physically able to participate.  The leader should exclude from participation persons who seems incapable of meeting the demands of a particular outing or are unable to take responsibility for themselves and their safety for the duration of the outing.

     If anything significant about your outing changes (date, destination, etc.) or if you need to cancel it, please make the changes to your outing's description below or contact Val Walker (705-253-7044; valwalker8@yahoo.ca) to post the changes.

2) There have been cases in the past of outing participants picking wildflowers. Note that with rare exceptions, damaging living things is forbidden. See this Message for details
