What we’re about
We are a group interested to be out in nature! Activities for our members include birding, hiking, biking, and others such as botany outings and snowshoeing (in the appropriate seasons), plus monthly meetings with speakers.
We have multiple outings every week and we will post as many here as we can. Our full calendar and schedule can be found on our website: https://okanagannature.org/ and there you can also find how to become a full (paid) member of the club. Meetup members are very welcomed to join us for a couple of outings (we then ask that they become full members).
Please note that we are a group interested in nature, we are not interested in running around naked ;)
In the "Discussions" section, you can find information about various club news and gatherings. You can now also find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/okanagannature

Weekend Explorers: “Birding By Bike”
Kelowna WaterfrontA recent email from the Kelowna Area Cycling Coalition notes that the Fall "Go By Bike Week" will kick-off on Sept 27th, thus it seems appropriate to incorporate some cycling into this month’s Weekend Explorers outing (Saturday, September 27th).
We will begin our birding/cycling and meet for sign-in adjacent to Sutherland Bay at 9:15 AM (at the Poplar Point Drive parking lot) . We will then cycle south along the Kelowna waterfront, with stops planned at Rotary Marsh, City Park, Mud Bay, and Truswell Park. Afterwards we will retrace our route back to Sutherland Bay.
No promises, but rarities often show up on the waterfront in September (e.g., Sabine’s Gull).
