Mission Statement.
Guelph Field Naturalists (GFN), founded in 1966, is a voluntary, non-profit organization whose objectives are to promote learning about our natural history, to care for and protect our natural environment, and to foster this learning and caring in our youth. GFN is an affiliated member of Ontario Nature (also known as the Federation of Ontario Naturalists).
Membership is open to all individuals or families who are in sympathy with our objectives.
Club Activities.
The Guelph Field Naturalists (GFN) hosts monthly meetings, open to the public, which feature guest speakers who give audio-visual presentations on a wide range of natural history topics. We conduct field trips with knowledgeable leaders to explore and learn about various natural phenomena in our local area.
Our "Bird Wing" group visits different outdoor locations twice a month for birdwatching.
We offer both a Young Naturalists Program for kids aged 6 to 10, and a Naturalists in Training Program for teens aged 11 to 16 years old. (For 2007-2008, this program receives funding from the Parks and People Program, an initiative of Nature Canada and Parks Canada).
Members also participate in committees of the local governments, dealing with city planning and development, habitat maintenance and restoration, water and wetland conservation, transportation issues and environmental concerns. Our bi-monthly newsletter keeps members informed of upcoming activities.
