Each year TFN offers its members eight free Zoom talks by noted experts, exploring everything from nature in the city to global environmental issues. Recent lectures have included Toronto’s Ravine Strategy, The Don Mouth, Renaturalized, The Fascinating World of Raptors, Toronto Zoo, Blanding’s Turtles Restoration Program, and Ticks in Ontario. For more recordings of our past lectures please visit our lectures playlist on YouTube.
Talks are presented Sunday afternoons at 2:30 pm, from September to May with audience discussion time. Visitors are always welcome and no admission fee is charged.
