Please join us for Peter Money’s talk on The Appalachians and their Margins. Peter Money, a Toronto Field Naturalist, retired geologist and expert photographer will share with us some of the Appalachians mountain region, accessible within a few hours drive from Richmond Hill. This ancient system extends from coastal Newfoundland to the northern reach of Florida. Fossils with the oldest known multicellular life are found there. This area has an impressive array of living fauna from puffins and moose to salamanders, pelicans and armadillos and many flowering plants.
