Newsletter

The Island Naturalist is the quarterly published newsletter of the Natural History Society of PEI and provides documentation on nature sightings as well as articles and notices of upcoming events. It is available in Acrobat Reader colour format via email to members of Nature PEI, or in black and white hard copy delivered by regular mail. Hard copies are printed on recycled paper. As an example a current issue has many vivid colour images from some of PEI’s top nature photographers and is 22 pages in length.

Articles, notes, reports, drawings, bird sightings, plant records, etc. are welcomed from members and non-members. If you have seen anything unusual, please share it with us. It is important to have your observations recorded so that others may learn from them.

All contributions should be sent by mail to:
