The Toronto Field Naturalists have been promoting a love of nature in Toronto since 1923. This charitable, non-profit organization stimulates public interest in natural history and encourages the preservation of our natural heritage.

Our members include experts, who gladly share their knowledge, and novice nature lovers eager to learn more. We all enjoy our TFN activities, informative newsletters, friendly people and satisfying volunteer opportunities.

TFN is affiliated with like-minded groups and work with them and with government bodies to protect and enhance Toronto's ravines, parks and waterfront.

Some of the groups we partner with are:

TFN, with no paid staff, counts on the work and annual fees of its volunteer members. We invite you to join us. You don't need to be an expert (though you may be inspired to become one). Come to our talks, join our walks, add your voice to our advocacy efforts, contribute your time and talents to our newsletter, or in helping to run the organization.

If you're not sure we're right for you, come on a walk or attend a talk at no cost. Bring a friend. We want more people to discover the joy of nature in Toronto!
