Rideau Valley Field Naturalists
An archipelago of unrivalled beauty, mystery and amazing creatures, the Galapagos Islands are the topic of speaker John Kerr-Wilson at the Sunday, Nov. 4 meeting of the Rideau Valley Field Naturalists.
From near extinction of some species in the 1800’s, the Galapagos Islands are now a UNESCO World Heritage site and home of the Charles Darwin Research Foundation site. Giant tortoise, lava lizard, land iguana, blue-footed booby, waved albatross and sea lion are just a few of the species you can expect to see if you take a trip to this living laboratory of evolution.
John Kerr-Wilson, long-time member of the Rideau Valley Field Naturalists will share his recent Galapagos experiences via a power-point presentation.
The general public is invited to join the RVFN for their meeting at 2 p.m., Sun., Nov. 4, in the All-Purpose Room at the Perth and District Indoor Swimming Pool on Wilson Street at Sunset Boulevard. There is a small admission fee of $5.00 for non-members.
