Quinte Field Naturalists’ guest speaker is Andrea Kingsley. Andrea has an MSc in Biology and has served as an environmental consultant, teacher and researcher across Canada and Ontario. She is also an artist with spectacular photographs, and through her paintings and drawings. Andrea will be sharing her adventures on Akimiski Island Nunavut, where she was involved in banding Lesser Snow Geese and completing Polar Bear surveys.

Our meeting this month explores the limestone rocks and landforms that are a familiar sight to those who know the Quinte region. What may seem like an ordinary rock, has in fact dramatically shaped the biodiversity of the region. This talk will explore how limestone surface geology shapes landscapes through its specific topography, chemistry, and hydrology, to create a variety of weird and wonderful ecosystems…some which are rarely found outside the Quinte region. All of our meetings are free and open to the public. All are welcome!
