Summer Lecture: Shirley’
July 14, 2018 @ 2:00 pm
Owen Sound Field Naturalists has partnered with Grey Roots to bring you two bonus Nature Lectures this summer.
Grey Roots members and current OSFN members are entitled to free admission to these two lectures, and the museum exhibits, while there. Current OSFN members will be able to select and wear their OSFN name tags (which will be at reception) for the two lectures.
The first is 2 pm Saturday July 14, featuring Peter Russell, and the second is at 2 pm Saturday July 21, with Stu Collier. Both lectures complement the fascinating and comprehensive exhibit – Ice Age Mammals.
Ice Age Mammals is on display from April 28th, 2018 – September 16th, 2018.
Come explore our prehistoric world of mammoths, mastodons, and other giant mammals!
Summer Lecture: Shirley’s Box: The Highgate Mastodon Story
Presentation by: Peter Russell
July 14, 2018, 2:00 pm – July 14, 2018, 3:30 pm
Join Peter Russell to learn the story of Shirley’s Box: a simple box of donated fossils which led to a wonderful discovery about Ontario’s pre-history, including mammoths, mastodons, giant beavers, and more!
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.
