Rideau Valley Field Naturalists
2010 is the Year of Biodiversity and a time to learn about and reflect on the wealth of biodiversity we have in our area. Over the spring and summer a number of bioblitzes have taken place, which are setting a benchmark on biodiversity in the area in which they were done. To learn more about the biodiversity in our natural neighbourhood join the Rideau Valley Field Naturalists on Sunday, September 12, when biologist Mike Yee will present a talk on the variety of flora & fauna, critters that swim, crawl, fly, float and wiggle around our natural environment.
Mike is the Manager of Biology and Water Quality for the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. He is well known in the nature network in our area as a guy who not only has a vast knowledge of our environment but is also an enthusiastic speaker. We are pleased to have Mike as our guest speaker to kick off our fall season.
The RVFN meeting is open to everyone. It gets underway at 2 p.m. in the All-Purpose Room at the Perth and District Indoor Swimming Pool on Wilson Street at Sunset Boulevard. There is a small admission fee of $5.00 for non-RVFN members.
