The Quinte Field Naturalists are pleased to present Steve Burr of the Royal Astronomical Society Belleville Chapter as he talks about "Reclaiming The Night Sky" 

 The sky is filled with wonder, an experience you should merely have to look up to enjoy. But the stars are becoming more difficult to observe and are even invisible in many urban centres.

The Quinte Field Naturalists invite you to examine the current situation, its effect on life forms not just our own and look at ways to mitigate or eliminate the growing threat to our access to the night sky.

Steve Burr, a member of the South Shore Joint Initiative and RASC Belleville is the champion for dark skies in Prince Edward County and for the establishment of a Dark Sky Preserve on the south shore of the county. The Quinte Field Naturalists have signed on as supporters of this endeavour and Steve will bring you up to date on his efforts. 

Steve is an amateur Astro photographer and will be sharing some of his amazing pictures of star clusters, galaxies and nebulas that await your discovery in the night sky.

And, if you haven’t already seen it, we will be showing Gary Magwood’s documentary “Hello Darkness”.

Join with the Quinte Field Naturalists as we plant Native Trees and Shrubs at Clifford "Sonny" Belch Park. This planting was made possible with the sponsorship of Tree Canada, Bird Friendly Cities, The Rotary and Bayview Home Hardware. This community event supports nature by creating habitat and food for native songbirds, and the insect life they rely on. All are welcome to come out and volunteer with us. This is a great opportunity for high school students needing to fulfill their community hours.

The Quinte Field Naturalists are holding a pollinator planting at Clifford "Sonny" Belch Park at 69 Centre Str on Friday Oct. 3rd at 10 am. We have over 1800 pollinator plants to plant in the centre of the park. Help our local songbirds and pollinators by planting with us these native pollinator plants.
