Hydraulic Fracking Talk – Supplementary Info
We’ve received a note from Dr. Maurice Dusseault about his upcoming talk (Thursday March 10):
I plan to arrive at the venue a good half hour or more ahead of time, and I have the feeling that the discussion will go on for some time J. So I am planning a couple of hours in total.
For those of your members interested in the technical side, I attach a technical article on issues arising, and will be happy to try and address all technical questions. Non-technical questions can be entertained of course and are open for discussion, but I am not a politician nor a pundit in those matters.
Anyone interested in the technical document can download by clicking on the image below:

We’re now on Facebook!
Our first foray into social media, we now have our very own Facebook Group. It’s open to anyone interested in nature in the Grey-Bruce area – we hope to fill it with photos and information from club and personal outings, nature sightings, and general outdoor happenings.
A Facebook account is required to view the group, but they’re free! So head on over, join the group, and help make it something more than Brian talking to himself! (or join the group to watch Brian talking to himself!)
Adamantly opposed to Facebook? Never fear, all our club events will continue to be announced on our webpage and the Hart’s Tongue Herald.
