The Purpose of
the Natural History section of the Friends
of the Boyne River website is to provide
educational information to area youth and
adults alike. Our goal is to provide a field
guide to the natural specimens that may be
encountered in the Boyne River Watershed and
to help define the natural environment in
this fascinating and beautiful area. We hope
to create awareness of the diversity that
surrounds us so that all of us will want to
conserve the attributes that make this such
a great place to live and to visit.
The information shown here is compiled by a
group of amateurs that do considerable
research to assure accuracy. If we show a
photograph without a caption, it means that
we are still working on the identification.
If you can help with the identification
please contact us. Also, if we have
mislabeled a specimen, please let us know.
The information here will grow in volume and
accuracy over time but it will never be
completed. There will always be something
new to be found.
