At monthly meetings, guest speakers make presentations on topics related to nature that are of interest to club members. Everyone is encouraged to participate by sharing their experiences and observations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have hosted our meetings via Zoom, but we look forward to greeting members and friends in person once more when health considerations allow us to.
Regularly scheduled field trips offer members the opportunity to learn about and experience habitats around the County and beyond.

Saturday, July 19 – 3 PM – Delhi Park, Picton. As part of the Department of Illumination’s Nature in the Park summer program, PECFN is creating two “Nature Squares”, each 2m x 2m, one along the stream and the other in a wooded area. On four different occasions, we’ll Identify and record all the plants and animals we find in each. We’ll document what is present throughout the summer – noting the changes in species month by month. We’ll take photos as well to show the differences between visits. This could be a family friendly project. The final date of Nature Square is August 9.
A community picnic occurs each Saturday at 4:30 in the park so bring some food along to complete this enjoyable afternoon experience. Members of the PECFN executive will act as co-ordinators.
