​

The West Kootenay Naturalists Association brings together people who are interested in nature, through group outings, educational presentations, conservation efforts and scholarship sponsorship.

Members are enthusiasts of the observation and study of plants, birds and other animals, geology, meteorology, mycology, all the rest, and how it all fits together. Some have a great deal of knowledge to share though some of us have many more questions than answers. 

The West Kootenay is a heavily forested region of mountains, glaciers, fast rivers, large lakes and extensive wildlife in British Columbia's Southern Interior. The centre of our activity is in the city of Castlegar but members are drawn from Rossland, Trail, Nelson and beyond.

Check out our newsletter The Osprey for photos and reports on our outings, events and nature news.
