Parry Sound Nature Club

The Parry Sound Nature Club was established in the 1980s. We are part of a province-wide network of groups and individuals, coordinated by Ontario Nature, called the Nature Network.

We meet at 7:00pm on the third Wednesday of the month from September to June. View Upcoming Events for more information.

The goals of the Parry Sound Nature Club include:

  1. To promote a public interest in and a knowledge of the natural history of the Parry Sound area;

  2. To promote the conservation of wildlife and wildlife habitat;

  3. To consider and discuss matters of environment; and,

  4. To promote, encourage, and cooperate with other organizations that have similar objectives.
