Purpose

The NatureNB mailing list was established in 1996 to serve naturalists who are interested in sharing information about the animal and plant life and natural features of New Brunswick. Subscribing gives you the opportunity to exchange ideas, share filed trip information and observations, announce upcoming field trips or meetings, and ask questions about nature and what others are doing to enjoy and protect it. Postings are welcome in English and French.

Acceptable messages include the following topics:

Your observations of animal and plant life in New Brunswick. Include date and the location if that information will not pose a risk to the species. Use all caps the first time you mention a species. If you refer to the species more than once, use lower case. Do not use abbreviations because abbreviations can vary and many naturalists are not familiar with them.

Field trips reports within New Brunswick.

Announcements about meetings related to the flora and fauna of New Brunswick and their habitat sponsored by not-for-profit organizations in New Brunswick.

Book reviews in which you do not have a vested interest.
