Upcoming Program
Children aged 6-14 are invited to join the TFN Juniors program. Every child must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Events are monthly, usually on the second Saturday from 10am-12pm. We move around the city to enjoy the wildlife and discover new ravines and parks we may not have explored before.
Our program for 2023 offers many exciting opportunities.
Returning to our regular programming for the Fall. We will meet at 10am the second Saturday of each month at a different location:
Here is the list for the Fall:
Nov 11th: Mosses and Fungi at Lambton Woods
Dec 2nd: Making baskets and mats with Dried Cattail leaves with Lynn Short at the Church of the Resurrection
To join these events, please email Anne Purvis at juniortfn@torontofieldnaturalists.org. You will be asked to fill out a registration form. Before each event you will receive an invitation email with location details.
