Asters, Goldenrods & Fleabanes w/Jenna McGuire
Bruce and Grey counties are home to 45 of these wildflowers, some of which have amazing stories and are unique to this landscape. Tyler will help you understand the natural history of these neighbours of ours that illuminate autumn and feed many animals. Tyler is a skilled ecologist boasting more than fifteen years of experience, primarily in Bruce and Grey. A natural curiosity drives his desire to explore and understand the intricate connections within wild ecosystems. For the past five years, he has played a pivotal role in the updating of the OSFN’s Field Guides about ferns, orchids and most recently asters, goldenrods and fleabanes.

***Please Note a Change in Scheduled Speaker***

Jenna McGuire grew up on the north Bruce Peninsula. She left to get a degree in wildlife biology and scientific illustration and returned to work for Parks Canada in Tobermory in ecological research and nature interpretation. Her passion is learning about, teaching and preserving traditional Metis skills and knowledge. As an artist, it is her wish to create art that inspires others and hopefully, captures the Metis spirit.

Jenna has used her illustration and communication skills on signage throughout Bruce Grey. Of particular note to the OSFN are many of the interpretive signs at the Oliphant Fen and at Singing Sands in Bruce Peninsula National Park.

A huge thank you to Jenna who is presenting for Tyler Miller.
