SUMMARY:Resilience with Marilyn Struthers and John Anderson
DESCRIPTION:The Field Naturalists welcome John Anderson & Marilyn Struthers in a conversation about our beautiful community and climate change. The film Resilience was created locally to build awareness and engagement in the most pressing threat to our natural environment in our life times. \n\n\n\nWatch the film\, and then come for a discussion about what we can do to play our part in preserving the beautiful landscapes we live in.  John and Marilyn will talk about how they came to be a part of local film-making\, what has happened since and what are others doing in our community now. They will create the opportunity to meet in small groups and think together about what we are thinking about and doing now – and how our contributions can fit together. \n\n\n\nJoin a ZOOM meeting where Marilyn Struthers and John Anderson will facilitate and host a discussion motivated by the film Resilience: Transforming our Community.Those participating will form small discussion groups (break out groups).  These groups will cover certain topics and issues; and will then be drawn into a sharing of discussion/planning results and a wrap up.Anyone planning to attend the ZOOM event on November 12\, is asked to watch this movie in advance of the meeting. You can find the film on You Tube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i0mbMcQmrg&feature=youtu.be \n\n\n\nOr visit the Resilience webpage for more information about the project:https://resiliencedoc.info/ \n\n\n\nDetails on how to join the Zoom meeting will be sent out in an e-Herald Wednesday Nov. 11th.

SUMMARY:Hope Bay Nature Reserve with Bob Gray\, Geology and More
DESCRIPTION: Hope Bay Nature Reserve with Bob Gray\, Geology and More – \n\n\n\nExploring amazing potholes and sinkholes at Hope Bay Nature Reserve\, along with these highlights –            “Right now\, for the folks that enjoy botany\, there are a good number of cut leaved grape fern and leathery grape fern present at the site. For wildlife enthusiasts\, there are several beech trees present with bear claw marks on them from feeding on beech nuts at some point in the past.  For the physical geography buffs\, the sink holes are amazing (photos do not do them justice).As the sinkholes are off trail\, it tends to be a bit more of a rugged hike than just hiking on the Bruce Trail.  Participants will need to be in decent physical shape to be able to do this.”                                                          Meet at the Bruce Trail on the Albemarle/Eastnor Town Line.                Register with Bob Gray at kemblemt1@gmail.com or 519-371-9128Due to COVID\, people are going to have to respect physical distancing\, and wear a mask if they wish. \n\n\n\nCut-Leaved Grape Fern (Bob Gray)
