About Us
The Prince George Naturalists Club was formed in 1968 to bring together people living in or visiting Prince George who seek out nature experiences, and to promote enjoyment of the natural world. We provide resources and experiences to help increase our knowledge of species and ecosystems in our region, to provide stewardship of these species and ecosystems, and to share our knowledge and experiences with others. It was incorporated as a society in 2014 to allow the Club to access grants for the Hudson’s Bay Wetland project.
Ours is a member club of the Federation of BC Naturalists, otherwise known as BC Nature – a federation of natural history clubs and organizations throughout British Columbia representing more than 6,000 members.
BC Nature Mission
Our mission is “Knowing Nature and Keeping it Worth Knowing.”
Our Purpose
BC Nature’s Constitution lists these four equally important purposes:
- To provide naturalists and nature clubs of BC with a
collective voice on conservation and environmental issues. - To foster an awareness, appreciation and understanding of
our natural environment, that it may be wisely used and
maintained for future generations. - To encourage the formation and cooperation of nature clubs
throughout BC. - To provide a means of communication among naturalists
in BC.
Our membership includes respected naturalists, environmentalists, biologists, academics and other nature experts in the province.
