Nature Miramichi:

Hi Everyone,

This is a reminder of our monthly meeting this coming Tuesday, Oct. 3,

(6:30 p.m. Sr. Citizens’ Center, 26 Sutton Rd. Nelson, Miramichi.)

Our guest speaker is Denis Doucet presenting via Zoom. Denis, who long time members might recall, was one our leaders when Nature Miramichi hosted the Festival of Nature in 2013.

His topic on Tuesday will be Dragonflies and Damsel Flies of New Brunswick. Denis is an experienced researcher in this field. For instance, a check of the INaturalist database indicates he has recorded 115 species of these insects, 22 in the Miramichi Watershed, some quite rare. He has 959 entries all tolled on INaturalist.

Denis has been employed with Parks Canada, stationed at one time at Kouchibouguac N.P. and more recently at Fundy N.P. His presentation will be an interesting one.

This presentation will be available live via Zoom and with luck recorded for later viewing by those who will be away on Tuesday. I will send the link along on Monday for live participation. .

A reminder also that our meeting format has changed and we no longer include a business meeting in the monthly gathering. We are emphasising instead a longer enhanced “Snack and Chat” following the presentation. Meetings will of course conclude earlier than in the past.

The club’s executive held a productive business meeting last week via Zoom, the minutes of which will be distributed in a few days time.

Peter

Past Pres.
