Clubs Neighbouring Ontario
Neighbouring Ontario is Manitoba, Quebec and seven states.  I am so far unsuccessful in finding a listing of the field naturalists clubs in either Manitoba or Quebec.  In the US, most clubs are affliated with the National Audubon society so most the clubs can be found easily.
