Fall 2024 Program

We are looking forward to another exciting fall and winter program at Toronto Field Naturalist Juniors, and we’re hoping that many of you can join us on Saturday mornings, most often from 10am till noon. We will learn about Toronto species, where they live, and how to find them. Hope that you can join us. Please get the following dates on your calendar. Also, please tell your friends!

Here are the details: 

    • Sept 7th: Sighting and tagging migrating Monarch Butterflies and observing migrating hawks at Rosetta McClain Gardens
    • Sept 14th: Early morning hike on the Meadoway with Don Scallen, to catch spiders with dew on their webs
    • Oct 5th:  Edible wild foods with Karen Stephenson
    • Nov 9th: Come and learn about the work of the Toronto Wildlife Center, rescuing and rehabilitating injured wild animals 
    • Dec 7th: Welcoming arctic ducks (tentative)

    Thank you to everyone who has posted in the Summer 2024 Photo folder. Please keep diving into nature, and sharing your photos with us. It’s a joy to look at them!

    Toronto Field Naturalists wishes to acknowledge this Land through which we walk. For thousands of years, the Land has been shared by the Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, and the Anishinaabe. Toronto is situated on the Land within the Toronto Purchase, Treaty 13, the traditional and treaty Lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is also part of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum, a covenant agreement between Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Wendat peoples and allied nations to peaceably share the land and all its resources. Today, the Land is home to peoples of numerous nations. We are all grateful to have the opportunity to continue to care for and share the beauty of this Land.
