West Coast Landscapes: Alvars and Fens
Join Dian Wood on a trip to explore the Oliphant Fen system along the Huron coast. Many fen plants are still blooming at this date: Kalm’s lobelia, Ohio goldenrod, smaller fringed gentian, small-flowering purple gerardia, and nodding ladies tresses among others. The trip will start at St. Jean Point, then move to Petrel Point, and finally Oliphant.
Meet at the Tim Horton’s in Wiarton at 1 pm and we’ll carpool from there. Register with Peter Middleton, (519) 376-3242 or peter.middleton@sympatico.ca.
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.
