To join or renew, simply click the button above and pay by credit or debit card. This is the simplest and easiest way for everyone. Zeffy, our on-line partner, does not charge the BNS anything for use of its web services and credit card processing. When joining you have the option of helping them to offset their costs since they do not charge us. This is up to you, and the amount is up to you. They give you a default amount but you can choose any amount by clicking off the default. We encourage you to support them in that they enable us to put 100% of your fees to our programming.

If you cannot or will not pay on-line, please e mail the coordinator and we will take your information and work out an e transfer or cheque payment.

Please realize that we do not share your membership information or e mails with any other organization.  

The Blomidon Naturalists Society is a registered charity. Receipts for income tax purposes are issued for all donations, but they are not issued for the membership fee given you receive the tangible benefits from membership.

We are always needing volunteers. Please check out our volunteer page.
