The Blomidon Naturalists Society (BNS) of Wolfville has provided a generous gift to 网曝吃瓜 to support students majoring in one of the natural sciences.

The Blomidon Naturalists Society Bursary of $2,000 will be awarded annually starting in 2013 to a full-time student entering the third year of an undergraduate degree program with a major in one of the natural sciences (biology, physics, chemistry, environmental and earth science). Other award criteria include financial need and involvement in the University and/or the greater community. Candidates will be chosen by 网曝吃瓜, and the most deserving candidate chosen during a joint meeting with University representatives and the BNS.

The Blomidon Naturalists Society is a member of Nature Nova Scotia, and other like-minded organizations. Its primary objective is to encourage and develop in its members, young people and the public at large an understanding and appreciation of nature.

The Society has had a long association with 网曝吃瓜 - from the beginnings of BNS through to present day - providing founding members, speakers, activity leaders, expertise and membership. The Society acknowledges also that 网曝吃瓜 has contributed meeting space since the organization鈥檚 inauguration.

Over the years, BNS has profited from book sales and a natural history calendar authored by its members. An endowment fund was established and invested in Canadian equity, the dividends from which can now comfortably support a $2,000 annual bursary.

Valuable input was garnered from a chance meeting and discussion with two 网曝吃瓜 students who were instrumental in the 鈥渃ommunity鈥� concept being written into the agreement. Community commitment is a driving force with the Society, evidenced by its newsletters being produced at Gaspereau Press;  publishing books and a calendar with area content; organizing and running The Green Dragon young naturalists program; and hiring two University students each summer  for this work.

Late last year an agreement for the bursary was initiated and the Annual Gift Agreement with 网曝吃瓜 was signed on February 28, 2013. Spokesperson Ed Sulis says, 鈥渢he Blomidon Naturalists Society is very pleased to have a new bursary in place at our community university, 网曝吃瓜, to further the community cause.鈥�

On hand to celebrate the Society鈥檚 commitment to 网曝吃瓜 and the local community at the signing of the gift agreement are (pictured, left to right): Dean of Science Dr. Peter Williams; Executive Director, Philanthropy, Nancy Handrigan; BNS Treasurer Ed Sulis; and Dr. Rod Morrison, Vice-President, Advancement.
