Nature Guelph was established in 1966 and since then has been promoting connection with the lands in and around the city I now call home. I have been attending their events for years, always drawn in by their knowledgeable speakers and presenters and great community. It has been a hub for naturalists in Guelph and I have been so lucky to get to know the broader community of humans and non-humans through their efforts.

I got the chance to talk with John Prescott long time member of the organization to talk about the past, present and future of the organization detailing their work in partnership with rare Charitable Research Reserve, the Arboretum at the University of Guelph campus, and about the City of Guelph’s campaign to become a Bird Friendly City. It was great conversation.
