Nature PEI Meeting: “Birds, Gorillas and Nature Travel in Uganda”

“Birds, Gorillas and Nature Travel in Uganda,” rescheduled from December, will be featured in an illustrated presentation by Dr. Kathy Martin and Diane Griffin at Nature PEI’s meeting on March 3 at Assumption Parish Hall in Stratford.

The meeting begins at 7:30 pm and includes sharing nature sightings, a raffle, and the presentation at 8 pm. Kathy and Diane travelled to the equatorial African country to see interesting wildlife and spend time with the Mountain Gorillas. They observed the interaction between people and wildlife, as well as the growing importance of nature travel to the local economy. While there was excitement in spotting species such as the Cardinal Woodpecker, the Gray Parrot, and five species of Kingfishers, nothing compared to the family of gorillas they spent an hour with after trampling through the Bwindi Impenetrable forest. Nature PEI meetings are free and all are welcome.

The March and April meetings will be held at Assumption Hall while Beaconsfield Carriage House undergoes renovations. It may not be possible for the meeting to be livestreamed, but a recording may be available at a later date.
