Call for PFN Members Interested in Strategic Planning
The Board of Directors of the Peterborough Field Naturalists (PFN) is planning to undertake a process to develop a strategic plan to guide the PFN’s actions and work. The process will examine where the PFN is now, where we want to be and how we are going to get there. The process will include engagement with the PFN membership.
Do you have experience with strategic planning exercises? Are you a PFN member who has a keen interest in strategic planning and can commit to working with the PFN Board of Directors over the next year (June, 2023 to May, 2024) to prepare a strategic plan? Interested PFN members are asked to send a brief expression of interest, including a summary of relevant skills and experience with strategic planning, to [email protected], before June 30, 2023.
Call for Volunteer for Refreshment Table
Prior to the pandemic, a popular component of our monthly members meetings, was the refreshment table. Marilyn Hubley organized the provision of treats, coffee and tea and it was much appreciated. She has stepped down and we are looking for some volunteers to bring back this yummy aspect of our meetings. Please contact Sue at 705-559-2061 or [email protected] for more details.

The Board of Directors is responsible for making all the good things happen that you enjoy as a PFN member. We organize meetings, outings and programs; and carry out advocacy to protect the environment that we love.
Are you interested in helping to manage the PFN as it faces the challenges of the next year, which include:

- advocating to protect our natural environment in the face of pressures from development and climatechange;
- involving more young people in PFN objectives and activities.

If so, the Board is looking for new members to join our group of volunteers committed to the PFN. We are anticipating two vacancies this year and would like to bring the Board up to full complement. If you are interested, please contact Anda Rungis [email protected].
Outing Leaders Submitted by Sue Paradisis
I'm always looking for more volunteers so contact me if you are interested. Training is
provided and an experienced leader will help until you feel ready to go on your own. I am particularly keen on finding someone with a knowledge of lichens. I can be reached by phone at 705-559-2061 or email at [email protected]
