Welcome New Brunswick Naturalists to the Festival of Fundy Weekend For immediate release: Wednesday, May 16 Festival of Nature to be held in Saint John - June 1- 3, 2012 SAINT JOHN, NB: Nature lovers from all over New Brunswick will descend on the Saint John area during the first weekend of June for Nature NB's annual Festival of Nature. They will take part in more than 20 field trips with botanists, geologists and naturalists around the Fundy region and will focus on everything from insects, birds and butterflies to lichens, seaweeds and bog life. There will be workshops on nature photography and trips to gardens and orchards on the Kingston Peninsula, to salmon, sturgeon and marine science centres in St. George and St. Andrews, and to unique waterfalls of southern New Brunswick. There will also be special activities for the province’s young naturalists. “We are particularly excited to be hosting the 2012 version of the Festival of Nature”, says Paul Mansz, President of the Saint John Naturalists’ Club, which is hosting this year’s festival. “This year marks the 40th anniversary of Nature NB, the 50th anniversary of the Saint John Naturalists’ Club, and the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Natural History Society of New Brunswick”, he continued. Mr. Mansz went on to note that the Saint John Naturalists' Club has worked closely with the New Brunswick Museum throughout the club's history and has partnered with the Museum in hosting the event. "This is a 'natural' partnership" says Dr. Donald McAlpine, Head of the Natural Science Department at the NB Museum; "natural history is a major component of the Museum's work so our interests are constantly intersecting". Participants will be able to tour the extensive natural history research collections with Natural Science Department staff. The Festival's banquet will be held in the impressive Hall of the Great Whales in the Museum at Brunswick Square. Mr. Mansz points to the Saint John Naturalists' Club motto "to Study, Conserve and Enjoy" that has guided the planning for the weekend. Dr. McAlpine stressed the important role of naturalists who contribute their time as citizen scientists to record, report and share their observations. "Much of the information we have on long-term trends in bird abundance and diversity, flowering times for plants, and most recently the presence of winter day-flying bats resulting from an invasive fungal infection of these mammals, comes from this community", said Dr. McAlpine. He added that “these details are becoming increasingly important as we track invasive species and the impacts of climate change on our environment”. Participation in the weekend’s events and outings is open to the general public whether members of the Saint John Naturalists’ Club or Nature NB or not. For more information, contact Paul Mansz at 636-0774 or [email protected] or visit www.saintjohnnaturalistsclub.org or www.naturenb.ca. -30- Media representatives are encouraged to contact spokespersons (below) and to attend any of the events during the weekend. Club and Museum representatives will be pleased to take media representatives into the field before the weekend to provide the opportunity to experience, first-hand, the sorts of activities participants will take part in during the Festival.
