Is Conservation Translocation a path forward to recover Canada’s endangered Freshwater Mussels?
Thursday, June 11 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Todd Morris: Is Conservation Translocation
a path forward to recover Canada’s endangered
Freshwater Mussels?
A chief Research Scientist with Fisheries & Oceans Canada, Todd Morris will outline for us the story of Kidneyshell Mussels (Ptychobranchus fasciolaris) in Ontario’s Thames River. If successful, this approach will help to ensure the long term survival of the species in Canada.
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.
