The Blue Ridge Naturalist Network is an outgrowth of the Blue Ridge Naturalist Program through the N C Arboretum. Although not affiliated with the BRN program, many of our members are students, instructors, or graduates of the program. Our interest is in the natural world and environmental issues, with a foundation based in science. Through meetings and outings, we hope to provide opportunities for learning and fellowship with other like-minded individuals and organizations.
