> Hello, Blomidon Naturalists-

>                 We are rather desperately trying to fill a maternity leave position for my job as soon as possible and are not having much luck with finding applicants.  I wondered if a job posting was something you might be willing to share on social media or with your members?  I can attest that it?s a fantastic job for someone who?s keen- or someone who?s retired and wants a challenge.  If you?re able to share it, the job is posted here (we?re recruiting via Meridia):  https://meridiarecruitment.ca/Career/15972.

Subject: [BNS_members] Field Trip: Kingsport Intertidal Zone
Message-ID: <dd79b321b388a6805ec9ee8a7c72cbde@blomidonnaturalists.ca>

Hello, 

Just a quick note to say there will be a field trip on SUNDAY JULY 24TH
AT 3:00PM starting from Kingsport wharf/beach to explore the beach,
exposed rocks, mudflats, salt marshes of the intertidal zone as the tide
goes out. 

This is a casual outing with the intention of being outside and
exploring together! 

Be sure to wear appropriate footwear for the muddy beach, and anything
else you may want for a coastal exploration. I'll bring some magnifying
scopes to explore the mud for snails, worms, and other small wonders. 

You can sign up here so we have your contact info if anything changes:

Subject: [BNS_members] FYI - Today's Kingsport Field Trip Postponed
Message-ID: <0803ba19b39a133c250bd9f22ce573e6@blomidonnaturalists.ca>

Hi all, 

A notice was sent around to all those signed up or who had been in
contact about today's (July 24) field trip to the Kingsport Beach salt
marsh and mudflats at 3:00 pm. However, I thought I would circulate the
notice here as well that THE FIELD TRIP IS POSTPONED. 

It is just really so hot (36+ still predicted) and unfortunately low
tide coincides with the late afternoon and the hottest part of the day.
This is out of caution for the dangers of heat, especially on a full-sun
outing. 

WE WILL RESCHEDULE THIS FIELD TRIP TO SUNDAY JULY 31, AT 10:00 AM (to
accommodate for low tide). This is the long weekend, but for anyone
around and not off on camping adventures, we will aim for that date
instead. It will be a casual outing to explore the mudflats and what is
revealed at low tide, plus to explore the salt marshes. Sign up is here
[1]. 

Stay cool! 

Caroline

Message-ID: <85b46c265b9b5e6a99193961b21da8b0@blomidonnaturalists.ca>

Hi all, 

Mark your calendars for SUNDAY, AUGUST 7TH FROM 10 AM TO NOON to come
enjoy a MONARCH OPEN HOUSE with Alison and Larry Bogan! 

They will have examples of the various stages of the Monarch's
development and people will be free to walk in their large field and
discover caterpillars and adults in the Common milkweed that grows
throughout the field. Alison and Larry will show and explain what they
do from June to October to support the Monarchs. They will demonstrate
tagging if they have a fresh adult eclose that day. 

This will be a lovely morning of Monarch appreciation and learning! You
may have seen the recent news that the Monarch butterfly has been added
to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) "Red
List" of threatened species as an endangered species, threatened by
habitat loss and climate change. Join us to celebrate this special
species. 

LOCATION: 6539 Brooklyn Street, Brooklyn Corner 

TIME: 10 am - 12 noon 

DATE: Sunday August 7th 

There will be folks helping direct parking. Carpools can also be
arranged. 

Thanks for Larry and Alison for hosting and sharing your knowledge and
work!
