The primary objective of the BNS is to encourage and develop in its members and the public, an understanding and appreciation of nature which is interpreted broadly and includes the rocks, plants, animals, water, air and stars.
We meet in the evenings for informative and entertaining talks once a month on the third Monday (execept in July and August). Our field trips are scheduled irregularly but we usually have a couple every month except in the winter.
We have been active in several natural history projects over the years.
We are affiliated with the:
- Nature Nova Scotia (Federation of Nova Scotia Naturalists)
- Nature Canada (formerly the Canadian Nature Federation)
- Sable Island Preservation Trust
