Welcome to the Kawartha Field Naturalists!
 | The KFN Website Turns One!
September 15, 2008: A message from the Webmaster
How time flies! I can't believe it has already been a year since the website was launched on the World Wide Web. It's been a successful year though: great participation in our 'Sightings' section, frequent submissions to our Media Gallery, positive feedback from viewers - and speaking of viewers, there have been over 1400 visits to our site!
I would like to thank everyone for their interest in the website. Year two will bring more exciting additions. We encourage you to send us any suggestions to improve the website - and keep it dynamic!
Cheers, and happy surfing!

ACTION FOR NATURE, EDUCATION AND ENVIRONMENT
The Kawartha Field Naturalists is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of our heritage. Meetings, guest speakers and field trips are the means of providing our members with the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and understanding of the natural environment. We are also involved in educating the general public, with an emphasis towards youth, so that they can become aware of the incredible natural beauty in our area.
The Kawartha Field Naturalists is one of more than 140 federated member clubs comprising ONTARIO NATURE (Federation of Ontario Naturalists).
Please come and explore the website. It is interesting, educational, and dynamic! While you may be content just to browse, there is also the opportunity for you to contribute to the website with sightings, photos, videos, audios and feedback.
If you are unfamiliar with our region, there are two maps that are available;
Map One is an overview of our place on the planet and
Map Two is specific to the area.
