Young Naturalists

All young people are welcome to participate in our monthly meetings and field trips.

For many years we have been pleased to assist the PEI Science Fair with provision of prizes. Good luck to all participants in local school fairs and the provincial fair this year !

We are pleased to see the formation of the UPEI Field Naturalists Society – “A society created to connect, organize and involve UPEI students interested in the natural history of Prince Edward Island.” Check out their Facebook page.

Bird Studies Canada news

26 January 2015 – Enthusiastic young birders in Christmas Bird Count for Kids (“CBC4Kids”) events across the country identified and counted a grand total of 111 species in the 2014-15 count. Thirty-three CBC4Kids events were held throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland, with seven new counts joining the fun!
Congratulations and many thanks to all the organizations, event coordinators, hosts, and volunteers who ran CBC4Kids events, and to all the families and young birders who eagerly participated!
