Join us at the picturesque Marden Pond Pavilion for an afternoon picnic as we celebrate 60 years of being an organized naturalist club! There will be socializing, button-making, kids activities, an interpretive walk and live music by Ian Reid. Entomologist Abbie Wiesner and Nature Guelph co-president Julianna Van Adrichem will lead a 45-minute interpretive hike around the pond beginning at 2:15 pm and ending back at the pavilion at 3:00 pm for the potluck picnic.

For the potluck picnic, please bring sharable finger food from the category based on the first letter of your last name: savoury finger food (A–M), vegetable, fruit or vegetarian finger food (M–Z). Sweet treats and refreshments will be provided. There will be cake, gluten and dairy-free cupcakes, tea and coffee. You are also encouraged to bring your own camp mug, plate, cutlery and napkins to help reduce waste. If it ends up raining, we’ll have a game of Nature Trivia and eat snacks in the shelter!
