Since 1969, we have been B.C.’s collective voice for nature conservation and education. As of 2025, we are a federation of more than 65 groups/organizations of naturalists, which comprises more than 7,000 members.
We function as a federation of natural history clubs and organizations throughout B.C. Our members provide the eyes, ears, and feet on the ground for nature in this province. Our network of naturalists shares their research, commitment, and knowledge of B.C.’s wild spaces and species – inspiring others to get involved.
Through nature education, practical conservation projects, and community engagement, we encourage people of all ages to explore nature and get involved in outdoor activities – from birdwatching, botanizing, all wildlife viewing, searching for mushrooms or insects, walking or hiking, or just being outside exploring.
We believe these activities foster awareness, appreciation and understanding of the natural environment, which leads to healthier communities and, hopefully, to a deeper personal involvement.
