The world around us is filled with natural wonder, and it is this world that first intrigues youngsters and fosters their curiosity. The Kingston Field Naturalists (KFN) sponsors youth programs to promote and support interest in natural history. Junior and Teen Naturalists programs follow the school year beginning in September, and include both indoor and outdoor activities. A wide variety of natural history topics are investigated every year — from ferns to fossils, and from birds of prey to bats! Conservation, and advocacy aimed at understanding and protecting our natural world are also important club interests. Membership The cost for individual membership in the Junior or Teen program is $20.00. Application forms are available by phoning 613-389-6742, or 613-389-8338. Applications will be received each year from August 15 to September 15 only.
