 The Naturalists Next Door: Hamilton Naturalists Club

Come join the dialogue on Sunday, Dec 1st, 2024 with the naturalists next door: Just southwest of Toronto lies the habitat of a nature group even older than TFN; the Hamilton Naturalists Club. HNC and TFN share long traditions of guided outings, newsletters, land stewardship and advocacy, and we’d like to learn from each other.  For example, Hamilton Naturalists have been leaders and champions for a Biodiversity Action Plan for Hamilton. TFN, for its part, is especially proud of its monitoring and restoration project at a post-industrial site near the banks of the Don River at Cottonwood Flats.   Speakers from both nature groups will share projects underway, success stories and hopes for coming years, in a moderated panel discussion.   What’s working to advance the cause of nature awareness, protection and restoration?   You can contribute through the Q and A session.

 Speakers: 

Jen Baker, General Manager, Hamilton Naturalists Club

Lynn Miller, TFN President, Toronto Field Naturalists

Moderator: Ellen Schwartzel

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.
