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.

Terry Sprague has walked the entire trail on six different occasions since 2005. In this presentation, he shares some of the history and his thoughts on this former CN railway line that runs for 48 km from Picton to Carrying Place. Terry covers both the human history and natural history of the trail, along with how it all came about. Meet some of the people who use the trail, and discover their fascination for this now popular cross-county route.
