As you'll notice, this email update looks quite different than my last few. We are going to create monthly e-newsletters through this new platform, so let us know what you think. Riley ** EVENTS ------------------------------------------------------------ ** January General Meeting: Punamuiku ------------------------------------------------------------ Monday, January 18th @ 7:30pm You must register through zoom here: https://blomidonnaturalists.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0dbe0d10c2ef002331c94c4f9&id=cc38f0616b&e=b24cf58224 Punamu (Atlantic tomcod). Photo: Alanna Syliboy Continuing with the Climate Change series this winter, Alanna Syliboy will be teaching us about Frost Fish Month (Punamuiku). January, known as Punamuiku, or Frost Fish Month, is the time of year when punamu (Mi?kmaw for Atlantic Tomcod or frost fish) swim upstream to spawn. Alanna Syliboy, the Mi?kmaw Knowledge & Community Engagement Manager at the Confederacy of Mainland Mi?kmaq will discuss the historical and cultural significance of Punamuiku, as well as the effects of climate change on punamu. ** Field Trip: Winter on Snowshoes ------------------------------------------------------------ January 16th and 23rd @ 10:00am For all the details and to register for either day, visit our website (https://blomidonnaturalists.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0dbe0d10c2ef002331c94c4f9&id=725d7360e0&e=b24cf58224) or Facebook event (https://blomidonnaturalists.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0dbe0d10c2ef002331c94c4f9&id=ee91ece895&e=b24cf58224) . Snow transforms the landscape into stories that unfold as we follow tracks of foxes, mice, and other mammals. A Snowshoe Hare hops along and is pounced on by a Great Horned Owl. Without snow to show us the tracks, wing marks, and perhaps a drop of blood, we would not have known the drama took place. Soren will lead this hike on snowshoes or skis. By studying the characteristic imprints made by different organisms we will interpret the various stories that have unfolded. ** FSA Women, Girls' and Female-identifying Winter Hiking Series ------------------------------------------------------------ Wolfville & Area Every second Saturday starting Jan 9th (4 sessions).

This was just an error message and you do not have to do anything.? Currently, we have all your emails in a listserv under the address 'members at blomidonnaturalists.ca', which allows us to send messages to all of you at once. To create the e-newsletter, I use Mailchimp. Mailchimp then sends the e-newsletter directly to 'members at blomidon...' from the manager's address. The message you received this morning came from Mailchimp when one person tried to update their profile directly in?Mailchimp. If you would like to update your email address or add another family member, the change has to be done through the listserv itself, not mailchimp. Please send any updates to myself or to Patrick (patrick.kelly at dal.ca) who can do the adjustments.?
