ABOUT NSEN:
NSEN was established in 1991 and is a non-profit organization registered provincially under the Society Act. The network is comprised of non-governmental environmental and health groups whose common purpose is the conservation and enhancement of the natural environment and the pursuit of a sustainable future for Nova Scotia. There are approximately 60 environmental organizations in the Network.

NSEN performs a coordinating function for environmental organizations, facilitating communication and sharing of expertise and resources amongst groups from across the province. NSEN also supports the work of caucuses and working groups among our members, such as on Mining, Environmental Education, Water, Biosolids & Wastewater, Law & Policy, and SENSE: Sustainability Education in Nova Scotia for Everyone.

NSEN also organizes events, capacity-building workshops, annual gatherings, award ceremonies, and round tables to support the work of our members. We have an interactive and comprehensive website including an online calendar, resources, and a sustainability education directory. NSEN is a regional affiliate of the Canadian Environmental Network ( http://www.cen- rce.org ) and the Executive Director reports directly to the Board of Directors, made up of representatives of our provincial member organizations.
