A diverse and friendly group, the Nipissing Naturalists Club originally formed in 1976, with the primary objective to observe and enjoy nature through field trips, meetings and discussions, and to stimulate interest and understanding of our natural history and environment.

 

Our club celebrates and shares the wonder and importance of nature to all of us. As a member of the Nipissing Naturalist Club, you'll be invited to interesting and informative monthly meetings, receive our monthly newsletters, and be invited to participate in exclusive members only outings and activities


Membership has its privileges...

Join the club!

By joining the Nipissing Naturalists, you too can help celebrate and share the beauty and fascination of the natural landscape of North Bay and Nipissing. The club has a number of projects on the go and in the works, and to see the local influence of our members, you need to look no further than the Louise de Kiriline Lawrence Historical Plaque and Nature Festival, the Motus Tracking Station Project, Bat Monitoring project and participation in local science fairs and festivals. 

  

The club relies on its membership fees for many things, such as our membership in the Ontario Nature Nature Network, our meeting expenses, as well as payment of the insurance policy to protect members when on our outings.  It is important that your membership is current as the policy only covers paid-up members, and is why NipNat outings are restricted to members.
