Welcome to the Pembroke Area Field Naturalists Club

Situated in the Ottawa Valley in Eastern Ontario, our organization is 25 years old. Formerly the Pembroke & Area Bird Club, we have documented 302 species of birds within our birding circle, being most of central Renfrew County, ON and western Pontiac County, QC.   

Ongoing programs include:

 Gathering and providing data on winter bird populations and distribution to Bird Studies Canada by conducting two Christmas Bird Counts, in Pembroke and Eganville.

 

Gathering distribution and diversity data for butterfly studies by conducting two annual Butterfly Counts in Renfrew County.

 

Contributing odonata population and distribution data to the Toronto Entomologists Association by conducting an annual dragonfly count.

 

Conducting a winter waterfowl survey on the Ottawa River in conjunction with the Ministry of Natural Resources.

 

Leading a variety of public field trips throughout the year to introduce and educate participants to the biodiversity of our region.

 

Hosting open meetings with educational presentations and guest speakers.

 

Participating in Renfrew County Natural History Day.

 

Setting up an information display at the Renfrew County Annual Outdoor Woodlot Conference.
