OUTINGS Sunday October 3, 2010 Fall Mushrooms with David Malloch Join expert David Malloch for a search for mushrooms at New River Beach Provincial Park. We will depart Odell Park at 8:00am and meet David at 11am at the Barnaby Head Trail. This will give time for some birding and botanizing before the mushroom walk. Bring a lunch so you aren’t tempted into eating mushrooms! Sunday October 24, 2010 Fall Water (Waterfalls!) with Doug Jackson and Graham Forbes Nicholas Guitard presented at the club last year, has produced 2 great books and so we have no excuse. Join Doug Jackson and Graham Forbes for a slow hike to several of the area’s waterfalls. Should be lovely with the autumn colours. Meet at Odell Park at 9:30. Bring a lunch. Sunday December 19, 2010 Christmas Bird Count - coordinator Ron Wilson A highlight of the year...counting chickadees!!!! Looking in stranger’s backyards with binoculars and hoping the police don’t drive by. Hoping for a hawk owl (so you can brag at the potluck) but coming in with 50 chickadees. Ah, the Christmas Bird Count. Just have to do it! Ron Wilson has taken the reins from Don Gibson. (Thanks Don and Ron!). The potluck will be at the Stepping Stone Centre, details to follow.			MEETINGS Wednesday October 6, 2010 Biodiversity Stewardship Project: Engaging New Brunswickers in Conserving our Natural Heritage with Gregor Jongsma Greg leads a Nature NB project that facilitates members of the public wishing to be involved in projects to monitor biodiversity in the province. Come hear how the first year went and plans for the future. Wednesday November 3, 2010 Bird Photography and Parkinsons with Merv Cormier Merv Cormier contributed fantastic photos for the new Birding in New Brunswick book written by Roger Burrows. He also is dealing with Parkinsons, which makes a difficult task that much harder. Merv will discuss his experiences with nature photography and Parkinsons. Wednesday December 1, 2010 Properties of the Nature Trust with Renata Woodward The Nature Trust of NB has acquired many wonderful properties over the years. Renata will provide an overview of many, and discuss how they are acquired, and how they are managed.
