Nature Lethbridge was formed to promote awareness of natural history in the Lethbridge area.
Founded in 1968, then established as a Society in 1976, Nature Lethbridge is a group of people interested in Natural History. Our focus is the study of animals or plants, especially with observation rather than experiment, and presented in popular form rather than academic form.
Nature Lethbridge is a registered, non-profit organization that functions entirely through the efforts of volunteers. Our organization is dedicated to the appreciation of natural history and the understanding of the the environment in Lethbridge and surrounding areas.
The organization offers a wide variety of opportunities for members and the community to come explore, learn about and enjoy nature in the Lethbridge area and around Alberta, Canada. Through a series of guest speakers in the winter months and field trip excursions during the summer months, Nature Lethbridge strives to develop knowledge and appreciation of natural history within Lethbridge and surrounding areas.
