Orchid Volunteer Position Required Immediately
The PFN is seeking a volunteer to take on the role of Orchid Diary Compiler for our newsletter. The Orchid Diary summarizes noteworthy observations by PFN members and others in Peterborough County. Information is generally compiled from e-bird, Drew Monkman’s Sightings website, PTBO Sightings, individual submissions to PFN’s [email protected] email account or other resources. If you are a keen individual with an interest in collecting/ compiling information for inclusion in the Orchid (published 9 times a year), please submit an expression of interest to [email protected]
Call for Board Members 2023
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:
- a return to live services after the COVID-19 epidemic fades;
- continuing our transition to the world of digital communications;
- advocating to protect our natural environment in the face of pressures from development and climate
change;
- 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 Ted Vale, the Chair of the Nominating Committee at [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]
