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 fully open to the public, and everyone is welcome to attend.
- Each meeting commences with a brief business meeting followed by a nutrition break and a guest speaker. All are welcome to attend at Beaconsfield, the Carriage House in Charlottetown (corner of Kent & West). Refreshments are served and admission is free. Many people were encouraged by others with a deep fascination with nature, while they were young. We encourage you to consider bringing young people to our meetings or outings.
The Facebook link for this event is included on the PEI Invasive Species Council’s Facebook page.
We also want to send a warm reminder that Nature PEI is celebrating its 50th anniversary all year long. Throughout this 50th anniversary year, a variety of free events will be held to celebrate nature and highlight the ongoing role Nature PEI plays in citizen science. It will also host a bird identification course, complete writing a history of the past 50 years, and hold a 50th anniversary weekend celebration.Visit the Nature PEI website, or connect on Facebook to learn more about our anniversary celebrations, and the autumn nature walk that began it all 50 years ago.
