The NB Naturalist has been the voice of Nature NB since 1973. For three years prior to that (1970 to 1973) it was a publication of The New Brunswick Museum. Since 1995, responsibility for the magazine’s production has been shared by volunteer naturalists and Nature NB staff. Although the magazine has evolved and undergone format changes, it remains a magazine about the province’s natural history, written largely by and for New Brunswickers.

All aspects of New Brunswick’s natural history can find a home in the NB Naturalist!

Our submissions are always open for articles and reports pertaining to the natural history of New Brunswick. Submissions on other aspects of nature such as astronomy, ecology and geology are also welcomed. Members are encouraged to submit articles on personal encounters with wildlife or natural areas within New Brunswick. Articles are invited in either English or French, and will be translated in order to be published bilingually.

Please submit only a title and brief pitch for your submission. NB Naturalist staff will contact you for further information.

We are looking for volunteers to support the editorial team for NB Naturalist. Tasks may include fact-checking, proof-reading, copy editing, translation, and others as required. This is a remote volunteer opportunity that can be completed from anywhere with an internet connection. Experience in writing and/or editorial work desired. Familiarity with scientific journals and publications is an asset but not necessary.

Those interested can apply here!
