Come and meet Willy Waterton & Audrey Armstrong, two members from one of our neighbouring field naturalist clubs in Owen Sound. They will be speaking about their new book on orchids found in Bruce Peninsula area. This is the fifth edition, a complete re-working of the standard guide for orchids in that part of Southern Ontario. The Owen Sound Club has a wonderful history and ongoing practice of putting together authoritative field guides, of which this orchid guide is but one!
