Education is a primary goal of BC Nature and we offer a number of educational opportunities. These include:
- Local nature clubs provide programs in environmental
education and nature interpretation in their communities.
Several of the clubs also offer scholarships to students
in their local areas. Check out the club
in your area for more details.
- Two BC Nature conferences are
held each year and a quarterly BCNature magazine is
published for members.
- Members are offered a variety of field
camps in interesting
natural environments.
