On July 17 the Friends of Nature planted two beautiful sugar maples at Our Health Centre in Chester, Nova Scotia to celebrate Canada’s 150th Birthday. Someday the maples will tower over the building giving it life and scale.
The public is welcome to attend the 63rd Annual General Meeting of the Friends of Nature.
Come and meet renowned author Silver Donald Cameron, who will give us an update on his Green Interview project, and noted wildlife biologist Bob Bancroft, who will lead us in a discussion on the negative impact of the use of forest biomass to generate electricity.
Learn about progress being made by the Healthy Forests Coalition in slowing the use of forest biomass. Friends of Nature is a valued member of this coalition.
All welcome, refreshments will be served.

Dear Friends:
Friends of Nature is very proud to celebrate the well deserved appointment of our Founder Rudy Haase to the Order of Nova Scotia.
A special celebration will be held at the Chester Playhouse at 7:30 pm on Wednesday September 23, 2015.
The Playhouse will show a Neal Livingston produced film about Rudy’s life. This documentary captures Rudy’s youthful love of life and nature and will motivate many people for years to come tom be more active, socially aware and inspired to protect nature.
The event is by donation at the door to the Friends of Nature.
Many thanks to the Playhouse for hosting this celebration!
