We are pleased to announce that the Summer 2019 Natural History Events Calendar is now available!

Please note: Although we have speakers and nature walks, the Natural History Centre is closed for summer 2019. You can read about why here.

Our Expert Speakers Series will be held at New Horizons. Admission to each presentation is $5.00 per adult. Free for youth 18 and under.

The Nature Field Trips are an excellent opportunity to discover shoreline and forest ecosystems as well as Hornby’s unique geology.  These field trips are great fun for the whole family and will enhance your visit to our beautiful island. Pre-registration is essential as space is limited.  For inquiries or to register, please email hornby.naturalhistory@gmail.com. $10 per person; free for youth 18 and under. The 2 birding walks and July 25 fossil walk are now full.
