Oliphant Shoreline: Treasures and Challenges with Theresa Stafford and Geoff Peach
The Oliphant Shoreline will be the topic featured as part of our annual potluck at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. Start time has been moved up to 6:00 PM sharp. Bring a food dish to serve 8 to 10 people and plates and cutlery for yourself. Theresa Stafford, Chair of the Friend’s of the Oliphant Coastal Ecosystems (FOOCE) and Geoff Peach of the Coastal Centre, will introduce us to the wonders of the superb Oliphant coastline. Together these two groups have worked to identify and preserve the unique, diverse and fragile ecosystems that dot the shallow shorelines and the offshore islands. FOOCE has in its short life moved quickly with the Coastal Centre to identify and balance the demands of preservation with increasing recreational pressures and community heritage. They are working to ensure a unique and precious natural legacy for the future.
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.
