Nature PEI monthly meetings are held at 7:30 pm on the first Tuesday of the month (except July, August, and September). All meetings are open to the public, and everyone is welcome to attend.
- Each meeting commences with announcements and nature sightings over the last month followed by a nutrition break and a guest speaker. We meet at Beaconsfield, the Carriage House in Charlottetown (corner of Kent & West). Admission is free and young people are welcome at our meetings and field trips.
Future programs were planned for the spring months but until the restrictions on public gatherings related to COVID-19 are lifted by the Chief Health Officer there will be no meetings held. Keep safe, keep well.
