Benefits
Members of Nature Vancouver have access to a knowledgeable and enthusiastic network of naturalists, birders, geologists, and outdoor enthusiasts. Birding, Botany, Marine Biology, and Geology sections of Nature Vancouver offer year-round nature walks and field trips, and organize evening presentations every Thursday (from January to May, and September to November).
An annual week-long summer camp is organized in different parts of BC, usually in alpine wilderness but also to some drive-in locations.
The Conservation Section undertakes nature conservation initiatives in Metro Vancouver.
We publish Discovery, an annual journal of natural history. Members also receive a weekly newsletter by email.
Nature Vancouver is part of BC Nature (the Federation of BC Naturalists) and all members receive their quarterly magazine, BCnature, and a monthly e-newsletter.
BC Nature also provides a third-party liability insurance for members who participate in field trips organized by Nature Vancouver, BC Nature or other member clubs as part of our membership.
Non-members may participate in up to three field trips before they are required to take out a membership. Out of town visitors are always welcome to take part in any of our activities. All participants in outdoor activities have to sign a Release of Liability statement.
