    Are you a Nature Nerd? Do you often wonder what those flowers, trees and birds are when you are out for a walk? The Quinte Field Naturalists is an organization that can answer those questions. Come out to our Free General Meetings and connect with other Nature enthusiasts. Learn about our Natural World. In addition to our meetings, we have guided hikes exploring various natural areas around the Bay of Quinte. This month, our main speaker will be Katie Church, speaking about the threat of Water Soldier (an invasive aquatic plant) in our Bay of Quinte. Every meeting there are opportunities to ask questions and share what interesting nature sightings you have had. More information about our upcoming meetings, plantings and outings can be found on our website https://quintefieldnaturalists.org/. Come out and Explore, Appreciate and Protect Nature with Us.

  • Expedition Alert: Bringing the Polar Desert to the Bay of Quinte

    100 College St. West, Belleville 100 College St. West, Belleville

    Stacey Kerr is the Exhibit and Programs Coordinator for the Quinte Museum of Natural History, where she has been working for the last year to develop the upcoming feature exhibit “Expedition Alert: Stories from the High Arctic”. This exhibit will showcase the biodiversity that lives around Alert, Nunavut, the northernmost continuously inhabited place on Earth. Stacey is using her experience in environmental storytelling to create an exhibit that invites visitors to explore the unique and sometimes alien world of the Polar Desert through a series of interactive displays showcasing research by scientists from the University of Quebec at Rimouski. Inuit traditional knowledge, or Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, will connect visitors to the land and the lived experience of climate change through key elements of the exhibit, a reminder that multiple worldviews are critical to understanding our world. This presentation for the Quinte Field Naturalists will provide a sneak peek of a few key stories that will be included in Expedition Alert, including tales of impressive migration, fascinating adaptations, and ultimately resilience in the face of mounting climate change. Stacey will also share some of the challenges and learning experiences of creating an Arctic exhibit for an audience “down South”, as well as some exciting new technology-based museum elements that will help bring the exhibit to life in a whole new way for an intergenerational audience.
