AN INTRODUCTION TO NATURAL BURIAL Speaker: Bob Hope
Natural Burial methods are designed to return the body to the earth without
inhibiting the natural process of decomposition, leading to a sustainable
burial process with little environmental impact, while fostering new
woodlands supporting flora and fauna. Bob Hope, an Owen Sound resident
and member of the Natural Burial Association, will make the case for
Natural Burial in Grey-Bruce.
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.
