The North Durham Nature (NDN) will be hosting Deborah (Deb) Metsger on Tuesday, March 26th, at 7 p.m., at the Scugog Memorial Library, in Port Perry.

A Field Guide To Trees of Ontario, was published in April 2023 and is the latest book in the Royal Ontario Museum’s popular field guide series. Deborah Metsger, ROM's Assistant Curator of Plants, and coauthor of this publication will provide a guided tour through its 508 pages. She will provide insights into the process of building a field guide, and share some of the features, anecdotes and spectacular pictures of the naturally occurring and cultivated species that comprise Ontario's diverse tree flora.

Deb Metsger has been Assistant Curator of Botany in ROM’s Department of Natural History since 1982. She is acting Curator of the Green Plant Herbarium, and communicates all things botanical in ROM galleries, exhibitions, public programs, and popular publications.

North Durham Nature encourages everyone to attend this talk and learn more about trees in Ontario.
