[Caroline Beddoe]

Good evening, 

We have had some changes once again to our scheduled courses. Thanks for
understanding and find all the new details down below. I hope you can
join us for one of our upcoming courses, or stay tuned for more field
trips & programming later in the month of June. 

Birding by Ear Course - RESCHEDULED! 

The upcoming Birding by Ear course with James Churchill has be
RESCHEDULED due to predicted rainy, drizzly weather with Saturday May
28th. Not conducive to birdsong and thus hands-on (or rather, ears-on)
experience. THE RESCHEDULED DATE IS SATURDAY JUNE 11TH. Registration is
still open.

Come learn about birding by ear to solve vocal mysteries on your outdoor
adventures or in your backyard! *All those previously registered have
been contacted, and refunds will be provided as necessary. There are
other birding opportunities available this weekend, and I invite you to
check out all the birding field trip events happening this weekend as
part of Nature Nova Scotia's Celebration of Nature. [1] 

Wildflowers of Nova Scotia Course - Now June 5th 

Alain Belliveau (Collections Manager at the E. C. Smith Herbarium) is
once again hosting the wonderful WILDFLOWERS OF NOVA SCOTIA

This is also a full-day hands-on course hosted up at the wonderful Ross
Creek Centre for the Arts in Canning from 10 AM - 4 PM ON SUNDAY JUNE

Come learn about the Acadian Forest, major plant families, common
wildflower species and how to identify species from most major plant
groups and families. Explore the diverse habitats up at Ross Creek and
