The Osprey Wetlands are one of the highest elevations in Southern Ontario – they are essentially a ‘raised bog’ that rest in a depression of bedrock. They are an Area of Natural & Scientific Interest (ANSI). A diverse array of habitats is found here.
Parking at the Osprey Wetlands is limited and carpooling from the Foodland parking lot in Markdale is possible and may need to be confirmed.

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.
