Formed in 1979, the Bulkley Valley Naturalists (BVN) club is located in Smithers, British Columbia, the heart of the beautiful Bulkley Valley. It is non-profit organisation with the goal of learning about and enjoying the natural history of this area. The Bulkley Valley Naturalists share their knowledge and love of nature with others in their communities and aim to keep nature worth knowing for future generations. We are an education and awareness organisation — we are not an advocacy or activist group.
