Bowen Nature Club Annual General Meeting

Are you getting the midwinter blues? 

Are you hankering for the warm longer days and shorter nights of spring and summer?

Then the Bowen Nature Club has something for you.

We invite you to an evening of nature discovery via Zoom, Wednesday February 8, 7:00–8:30 PM.

The evening will feature a talk and slide show by Bowen naturalist and author,  Louise Loik. Louise will take us through her voyage of discovery writing her very popular book about reptiles and amphibians, Beasts of Bowen. This fascinating, beautifully illustrated book went on sale in December 2022, and is already in its second printing.

In addition to Louise’s intriguing presentation, the Nature Club will feature the shortest and most interesting annual general meeting ever.

To register email us at bowennatureclub@gmail.com. We will send you an email invitation to our Zoom meeting.

 Mushroom Photo Submissions

In our fall newsletter we asked Nature Club members to send in their fall mushroom photos. This fall was a challenging year for mushrooms. Most of BC was locked into an unusually warm dry autumn. In these conditions, there were fewer mushrooms to be found. However, Bowen naturalists are an intrepid lot. Here are some of the photos that we received.
