Join us on Zoom as TBFN member and guest speaker Emir Vidgen delights us for a retrospective talk on a solo sailing expedition across the Atlantic Ocean and back.  This visual presentation will highlights some of the challenges of this solo expedition, and the exploration of island stops.  A short presentation by Gene Kent on Future for Fridays will open the evening talk.

We are pleased to announce that the speakers have been confirmed. A presentation will be made by Brian Ratcliff, Allan Gilbert and Susan Craig, entitled “The Rhythm of Birding in Thunder Bay District”. The presentation, in play form, will tell how birders engage in their passion through the seasons, with humorous stories about the 2021 Brian Moore Trophy competition. A slideshow will accompany this passionate camaraderie of our local Thunder Bay birders.

Join us as Dr. Matthew Scrafford, Conservation Scientist with Wildlife Conservation Society Canada, shares his unique insight into wolverine biology, behaviour and conservation challenges across the boreal forest of North America. Dr. Scrafford will describe his work near Red Lake, Ontario and Rainbow Lake, Alberta where he has used GPS collars to track wolverine movement, foraging, and survival in industrial landscapes. He also will discuss how this work has informed habitat management for the species.  His research in Alberta was featured on the CBC Nature of Things documentary “Wolverine: Ghost of the northern forest”.   
After Dr. Scrafford’s talk, there will be a short presentation on the City Nature Challenge 2022 (CNC) along with a demo on how to use iNaturalist.
