How do I become a member of the Nova Scotia Bird Society?

Updated

You can join the Nova Scotia Bird Society (NSBS) by registering through its website at nsbirdsociety.ca. The site provides a "Membership" section and a "Buy Membership" quick link, and it also offers a member login for accessing your NSBS Membership account. The society describes itself as serving about 600 members and welcomes anyone interested in wild birds. For current fee amounts and the exact benefits of membership, contact the society directly at [email protected], since the website excerpt does not list dues or a detailed benefits breakdown.

Steps to register

  1. Go to nsbirdsociety.ca.
  2. Open the Membership section in the main navigation, or use the Buy Membership quick link in the footer.
  3. Follow the registration flow to create your membership. The site states: "Looking to register with the Nova Scotia Bird Society? Click here to get started."
  4. If you already have an account, use the Member Login with your username to access your NSBS Membership account.

Expected result: a registered membership and, where applicable, login access to member content.

What membership connects you to

NSBS has been a focus for birders in Nova Scotia for over 60 years. Membership links you to the society's activities and resources, including:

  • Nova Scotia Birds, the quarterly publication
  • Upcoming events and field trips
  • Christmas Bird Counts
  • Conservation work and volunteer/representative roles
  • Library and publications, including older publications and a finding aid to NS Birds
  • Resources such as FAQ, Birds of Winter, The Birds of Nova Scotia, seawatching in Nova Scotia, and photography/optics guidance (including Binoculars 101)

Practical notes

  • Payment: The site shows PayPal as a payment platform, and the donation section lists amounts in CAD and USD. The excerpt does not state membership fees, so confirm current dues with the society.
  • Contact for details: email [email protected], or write to c/o the NS Museum of Natural History, 1747 Summer St, Halifax, NS B3H 3A6.
  • Check before joining: if you need specifics on member benefits, renewal terms, or event access, ask by email first — the public pages describe activities but not a full membership tier comparison.
