Message from the President

The Sault Ste Marie Naturalist club has been a force for nature in both Ontario and Michigan for more than 60 years.  We enjoy walking, hiking and observing nature on our “outings” where we search for both the unusual and the commonplace.  A typical year takes us to a bat cave, a hike for mushrooms, lots of birding walks, many hours spent identifying wild plants, talking about them and their use by people as well as studying the geology of our small part of the planet.  In all cases we have fun while being in nature.

 

Over our history, we also have been part of efforts to improve the way people interact with the natural world.  We are part of committees that are involved in forest management, aquatic management, particularly the St. Mary’s River, and studying the impact of air and water pollution on our local ecosystems. The club is interested in both enjoying nature and helping protect the essential nature of our local and global ecosystems.

 

We welcome new members and encourage them to come on our outings, and be part of the club.  We always have opportunities to be part of the club, as an officer or one of several others jobs that keep a club viable and alive.  You can contact any of the officers of chairs of committees and I am sure you will receive a warm welcome and an enthusiastic member who is part of our club.

Don Hall has provided instructions for downloading 1:50000 Canadian Topo Maps, free of charge. The files are about 33 Mb and may take a while to download. You will need Microsoft Office, including document imaging. If you don’t have the software it may be possible to work around it. (Reported by John Lehman Oct. 17, 2007)
