Nature PEI

As part of Nature PEI’s 50th Anniversary celebration, the Society is offering a birding trip along the south shore of PEI. Dwaine Oakley will be our tour leader for this field trip which will feature stops at Hyde Park in Cornwall, Victoria, and the Noonan’s Marsh, lagoons, and beach in Borden-Carleton. It is anticipated that the field trip will conclude around noon.
Participants will meet at 6:20 am at the Provincial Administration Building Kent Street Parking Lot (opposite Beaconsfield) for car pooling with departure at 6:30 am sharp. While there will be an least a few telescopes, participants should bring their own binoculars, a guide to birds and, if they have one, their scope.
This field trip is free but donations or Nature PEI memberships will be gladly accepted.
For more information on this and other field trips, please see our website at http://www.naturepei.ca or visit our Facebook site.

At Nature PEI’s May meeting, Norman Dewar, Ellen’s Creek Watershed Group Coordinator, will talk about the strange things, both natural and unnatural, they have found in and about Charlottetown’s ponds and streams.  Norman will share  the discoveries the Group has made in five years of working in these unique ecosystems that we still know very little about.  Norman will also discuss the Group’s approach to stream rehabilitation and how we can all do our part in restoring and maintaining our urban watersheds so that future generations can enjoy the beauty, fauna and flora of these natural areas.

Norman has been active in the watershed community since 2007 and lives in midtown Charlottetown. He is a self-professed nature nerd who denies any claims he speaks brook trout.

All are welcome to Beaconsfield’s Carriage House  on Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. to meet Norman and learn what really “lies beneath.”  

Hope to see you there,
