When Nature Nova Scotia (using the name FNSN, Federation of Nova Scotia Naturalists) started in 1990, a paper newsletter was published and sent to members. This continued up until 2006 when resources were not adequate to continue. Originally, there were four issues per year but in 1996 that was reduced to two per year.
Available Newsletters
Some older members have been with the FNSN for most, if not all, of its existence and still had paper or electronic copies of those Newsletters. There are many interesting and valuable articles in those issues. We have collected as many as we were able and scanned them to make them available to anyone interested in FNSN history, activities and accomplishments.
If you have copies of a FNSN Newsletter Issue labeled as NA (Not Available) please consider letting us copy it or send us an electronic copy to archive here (pdf 300 dpi).
