To Know Nature and Keep it Worth Knowing
The Rocky Mountain Naturalists is based in the southeastern area of British Columbia (Cranbrook, Kimberley, Fernie). We are under the umbrella of BC Nature, which represents over 52 nature clubs throughout British Columbia.
Business meetings, prefaced by a natural history presentation, are held every second month (odd-numbered months).
We have numerous field trips (see our RMN Calendar link) where we explore, enjoy and share our love and knowledge of our natural environment.
One of our main projects is contributing to the stewardship of Elizabeth Lake in Cranbrook through trail upgrades, signage, and painted turtle monitoring.
We also support members involved in other stewardship programs such as:
-bluebird trails nest box monitoring (300+ boxes, 21 routes, 30 volunteers)
-caretaking of Skookumchuck Prairie IBA (Important Bird and Biodiversity Area)
-Wardens of the Ram Creek Ecological Reserve
-field trip leaders for Wings Over the Rockies and Creston Bird Festival
-bat box building and placement
-Rocky Mountain Trench Natural Resource Society
-Upper Columbia Basin Environmental Collaborative
-and more, wherever we are needed and can help
We conduct numerous bird surveys, the Christmas Bird Counts in Cranbrook and Kimberley (Bird Studies Canada/Audubon), and friendly bird competitions such as Little Big Day.
We foster an awareness, appreciation and understanding of our natural environment, that it may be wisely used and maintained for future generations.
