Orchid Trip to Flowerpot Island, with Scott Currie
Bruce Park naturalist, Scott Currie, will lead us on a tour of the orchids of Flowerpot. According to Scott, the ‘showy stuff’ is at Dorcas Bay, but the ‘rare stuff’ is at Flowerpot. We’ll car pool up to Tobermory and take the Blue Heron II over to Flowerpot. Cost per person will be in the range of $35 to $40. If weather prevents us from getting to the island, we’ll focus on Dorcas Bay instead. Limit of 20 people. This is a popular outing. Begin registering in March. Contact Dian Wood to register: saublebeach@hotmail.com or 519-422-1514.
OSFN Indoor Meetings are normally held on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the Bayshore Community Centre, 1900 3rd Ave E Owen Sound. There are no Indoor Meetings in July and August. Please see the individual event listings below for more details.
We invite speakers with a wide range of expertise from Grey/Bruce and other parts of the province. These evenings are open to the public. The auditorium is open by 6:30. The meeting gets under way at 7:00, and may include brief announcements by other organizations as well as OSFN club activities, club business, social time, nature sightings and reports.
The club also offers a full schedule of outdoor activities during the year. Through these outings, members learn more about the birds, plants, mammals and geology of this part of Ontario. We also keep a protective eye on our precious natural areas.
