Let’s Get Together

2026 Meetings

All meetings are from 2pm to 4pm

Qualicum Beach Community Hall,

664 Memorial Ave. by the Farmers Market

Meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of the month.

The meetings begin at 2 pm (doors open at 1:30pm)

There is no meeting in December.

There are no meetings in July and August, but we enjoy at least one picnic at Rathtrevor Park.

We respectfully acknowledge that we are meeting within the unceded traditional territories of the Snaw-naw-as people and the Qualicum First Nation, the traditional keepers of these lands.

Today, many First Nations and Métis peoples continue to live, work and play here as do we. We intend to nurture better understanding and pursue opportunities for collaboration with our First Nations neighbours.

Arrowsmith Naturalists Members Meeting

Our next meeting is April 23 at 2 pm. Important! Our new location is the QB
Community Hall, 644 Memorial Ave. beside the Farmer’s Market area.
You can also park in the St. Stevens church parking lot and use the ramp or
stairs from that side. The glass doors on the Market side will also be
opened. Doors open at 1:30.

Our speaker this month is David Vey, Mosaic Forest Management Manager Wildlife & Ecosystem. David will share his research on goshawks. David has been doing goshawk monitoring for over a decade and has experience monitoring over 100 different breeding areas, several hundred nests and hundreds of goshawk encounters. In his role with Mosaic, he also does ungulate winter range assessments, black bear den assessments, species at risk training for forest professionals, marbled murrelet low level aerial surveys and population monitoring through radar surveys. David will follow up this month’s presentation by hosting an outing for Arrowsmith Naturalists in late June to visit an active goshawk nesting site before the chicks fledge.
