Four Decades of Adventures by Bernard Forsythe
Though many great scientists and naturalists have been spawned in the Annapolis Valley this century, Bernard is one of the most knowledgeable, passionate and highly-respected of these. He has made great contributions to our knowledge of local flora and fauna through long-term involvement in the Maritimes Nest Records Scheme (he has submitted over 3000 records), Barred Owl nest-monitoring programs and orchid and wetlands excursions. His commitment to field research is paralleled by his passion for disseminating knowledge to others. In 2013, the Canadian Wildlife Federation awarded Bernard the Stan Hodgkiss Canadian Outdoorsperson of the Year Award presented to an “outstanding individual in the field of conservation”. Bernard has been a member of the Blomidon Naturalists Society since 1975 (year two!) and in that time has given many presentations and led many field trips.
In this talk Bernard will reflect on more than four decades as a naturalist in Nova Scotia, and what he has seen in that time – for better and for worse. His stories of adventure will be told using imagery cast by the warm glow of a slide projector.
