A Turtle Talk, with Jenna McGuire

Thursday, May 16 @ 7:00 pm 9:00 pm

May Indoor Program Date Change – NOW May 16

The Bayshore are carrying out some necessary maintenance and have notified the Club that their facility will be closed to the public the week of May 6 to 10. As a result, we have moved the program scheduled for May 9 to May 16. We realize that this is not convenient for everyone, and apologize. Changing venues can be more expensive and complicated than changing dates.


A Turtle Talk, with Jenna McGuire. Learn about our local turtles, and more, including their vulnerabilities and their resiliency.

Jenna McGuire has given permission for this program to be available over Zoom and on the OSFN YouTube channel for up to 6 weeks after the presentation night. Consider subscribing to the YouTube channel at Owen Sound Field Naturalists – YouTube

The Board of the Owen Sound Field Naturalists respects that some presentations may contain proprietary information that the presenter does not wish to have re-shown. We will not provide presentations on ZOOM or replay presentations on our YouTube channel without the express consent of each presenter.

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.
