Our Story
Saskatoon Nature Society is a registered charitable organization, founded in 1955, whose objective is to promote the appreciation of nature, and encourage a deeper knowledge of it through observation, education and sharing of experience.
We support nature conservation projects, and are an active advocate for the preservation of plant and animal habitats.
We hold monthly indoor programs featuring a guest speaker from September through April. Throughout the year, we organize numerous birding, botany and butterfly field trips as well as identification classes for birds and wildflowers.

What we do
Speaker Series
A monthly speaker series is held from September to April.
Field Trips
We run field trips, organize bird, plant and butterfly counts and participate in surveys of endangered species. Members also collect data for Saskatchewan’s Breeding Bird Atlas project.
Workshops
We organize bird and wildflower identification classes for both novice and experienced naturalists.
Young Naturalists
In cooperation with the Saskatoon Zoo Society, we present the Young Naturalists program for youth aged five to eleven.
Publications
We publish a regular newsletter for our members, and produce special publications such as A Guide to Nature Viewing Sites in and around Saskatoon. We also publish annotated checklists to the Birds and Butterflies found in our region.
Grants
Kids in Nature Grants
The Saskatoon Nature Society aims to strengthen and encourage initiatives that connect youth in the Saskatoon area with nature. Each year we will accept proposals from educational institutes, community associations, First Nations and Metis, and registered charities in the Saskatoon area to fund projects that target children or youth up to and including 18 years of age. Priority will be given to projects with a focus on local natural history. Please note that gardening projects that do not focus on local natural history will not be considered. The total funding available is approximately $2000.00. This amount may go to one applicant or may be divided among several applicants.
The deadline for the application is January 15, 2025.
