The Peterborough Field Naturalists (PFN) is a registered charity and active club in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. We meet at 7:30pm the second Wednesday of the month Sept-Dec and Feb-June at the Camp Kawartha Environment Center at Trent University. We welcome all to join us at these events. Currently on Hold.
Read the Orchid
Each year our hard working volunteers distribute 8 issues of our monthly bulletin to members. The Orchid is full of excellent articles that can help keep you connected to nature in Peterborough.
Upcoming Events
In addition to our monthly meetings, the PFN organizes outings to explore nature. Due to Covid 19, we are limiting the number of people who can attend and registration is necessary. As a result outings are for members only until further notice.
Junior Naturalists
We offer events geared towards kids aged 5-12 on a regular basis. Run by environmental educators from Peterborough. Come out and try an event to see if you'd like to join!
