Tyler Miller Asters, Goldenrods & Fleabanes
Thursday, October 15 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Tyler Miller Asters, Goldenrods & Fleabanes
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.

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.
